The scheme to extend the Lough Mask Regional Water Supply from Shrah to Westport and to upgrade the water treatment plant in Tourmakeady is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-09, to start construction next year.

My Department approved Mayo County Council's Contract Documents for the scheme in January 2007, subject to agreement between the Council and the Department in relation to the amount of the non-domestic capital contribution required. An updated Water Services Pricing Policy Report received from the Council is now being examined in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible with a view to facilitating early invitation of tenders.
