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 Kerry. The Waterville Water & Sewerage Scheme (Design/Build/Operate Contract) is included in the Programme amongst the list of contracts in the county to start in the period 2010 – 2012. Work on the water distribution and sewer network contract for Waterville is substantially completed. In December 2010 my Department advised Kerry County Council that funding is available to allow it award the contract for the Waterville Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants Design/Build/Operate contract, at a cost of €8.67 million. The contract will be funded on a shared basis between my Department and Kerry County Council. It is now a matter for the Council to progress this contract to construction.
