Phase 1 of the Athlone Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 to start construction in 2008, at an estimated cost of €15 million. The Council's Preliminary Report for the scheme, and a brief for the appointment of consultants for the design and construction stages, are being examined in my Department and a reply will issue to the Council shortly.
