The Waterford Grouped Towns and Villages Sewerage Scheme is approved for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007-2009 at an estimated cost of €48.3 million. My Department awaits the submission of Waterford County Council's tender documents for the wastewater treatment plants for the seven locations in the scheme, which are being procured under a single contract. I understand that the Council is currently assessing tenders received for preliminary treatment works at Ardmore pending the construction of the treatment plant there in due course.
Insofar as the collection networks at the various locations are concerned, the Tallow and Kilmacthomas wastewater collection systems have been completed. I understand that the Council is assessing tenders received for the Cappoquin collection system and is preparing the contract documents for the collection systems at the other four locations.
