Durrow is one of the towns in the Laois Grouped Towns Sewerage Scheme, which is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 at an estimated cost of €39 million. Contract documents for the treatment plants element of the scheme are with my Department and will be dealt with as quickly as possible. Contract documents for the networks element of the scheme have not yet been submitted to my Department. Durrow Water Supply Improvement Scheme is also included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 as a scheme to advance through planning. Laois County Council's proposals for the development of this scheme are awaited in my Department.
