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 Galway. The Oughterard Sewerage Scheme is included in the Programme amongst the list of contracts in the county to start in the period 2010 – 2012.

In April this year, my Department requested Galway County Council to submit a revised Design Review Report for the Oughterard Sewerage Scheme. Galway County Council has recently indicated that it expects to be in a position to submit the revised Design Review Report for the scheme to my Department very shortly. Once the report is submitted and approved by my Department, the Council can then proceed with the preparation of contract documents for the scheme.
