The Cranford Regional Water Scheme, which includes proposals to supply the Rathmullan area, is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 as a scheme to advance through planning. My Department is awaiting submission by Donegal County Council of a Brief for the appointment of consultants to prepare a Preliminary Report for the scheme.
Donegal County Council has also received an allocation of â¬25.5m from my Department for water conservation measures in public water supply networks. The Council submitted details of its proposals to the Department last week. In the case of schemes such as Rathmullan, the first step would be the installation of management systems to monitor water use and loss as a precursor to the carrying out of any substantive mains replacement.
