The Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012, a copy of which is available in the Oireachtas Library, provides for the development of a comprehensive range of new water services infrastructure in County Donegal. The Letterkenny Sewerage Scheme is included in the Programme with the treatment plant amongst the list of contracts in the county to start in the period 2010-2012, and a further network scheme to advance through planning in this period.
Earlier in 2010, I gave approval for funding to allow Donegal County Council to award the contract at a value of €25.87m for the wastewater treatment plant for the Letterkenny Sewerage Scheme. The contract will be funded on a shared basis between my Department and Donegal County Council but the exact amounts have yet to be determined.
