The Roscommon Towns and Villages Sewerage Scheme is included for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007 – 2009. I understand that work is under way on the collection networks element of this scheme. In addition, my Department approved Roscommon County Council's contract documents to procure the waste water treatment plants for the ten towns and villages under a Design Build Operate contract last January. Accordingly, it is now a matter for the Council to seek tenders for those plants.

I assume the question refers to the Arigna, Boyle-Ardcarne stage 2, Roscommon central and south Roscommon regional water supply scheme, which is included for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007–09 at an estimated cost of €54 million. My Department awaits the submission of additional documentation from Roscommon County Council to enable the Department to complete its examination of the Council's contract documents for the scheme.

My Department issued approval last month to Roscommon County Council's tender report for the Roscommon group water supply scheme design build operate bundle that will involve the procurement of water abstraction and treatment facilities for six group water schemes and two public water schemes in Roscommon and one group water scheme in County Leitrim under a single design build operate contract. It is now a matter for the council to advance this scheme to construction. Accordingly, any further information on progress with this contract may be had from the Council.
