My Department approved Clare County Council's tender recommendation for the Ennis town Water Supply/Treatment scheme in May 2007 and the construction and completion of the works is a matter for the Council. However, I understand that the contract signed in July 2007 anticipates a completion date of February 2009.

Question 617: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government when it is expected to advance the Balyna group water scheme County Kildare; if the wellheads at Cloona/Drehid will be utilised as a source in the context of the scheme; the current or projected cost of the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Ballyna Regional Water Supply Scheme, which replaces a previous proposal to serve the area through a group water scheme, is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 as a scheme to advance through planning at an estimated cost of €11.5m. My Department is awaiting submission of Kildare County Council's brief for the appointment of consultants to prepare a Preliminary Report for the scheme. The Ballyna scheme will, I understand, use wellheads at Cloona/Drehid Robertstown that form part of the Roberststown and Johnstownbridge Wellfields Scheme as its source.
