The Mayo Towns and Villages Sewerage Scheme, which includes Charlestown, Cross, The Neale, Ballyheane and Crossboyne is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 as a scheme to start construction in 2008.

Mayo County Council's proposals to service Crossboyne under a Serviced Land Initiative scheme, under which waste water from Crossboyne would be treated in Claremorris, are being examined in my Department as quickly as possible in light of additional information received from the Council.

The Letterkenny Sewerage Scheme is approved for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 at a cost of €29.2 million.

Donegal County Council's contract documents for the procurement of a new wastewater treatment plant for Letterkenny are currently under examination in my Department and are being dealt with as quickly as possible. Once approved, the Council will be in a position to seek tenders for this project. Work on upgrading the town's sewage collection system under the Scheme is almost completed.
