The latest assessment of infrastructural requirements for water services for each local authority is set out in the Assessment of Needs produced by each County and City Council in response to my Department's request to them in 2006 to carry out fresh assessments of the need for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. These assessments were taken into account in drawing up the Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009, which I published on 17 September 2007 and which is available in the Oireachtas Library. Information in relation to proposals included in the assessments for any particular area, as well as information on devolved projects that may be undertaken under the Small Schemes Programme of the Rural Water Programme, may be obtained from the relevant local authority.
