Donegal County Council has completed its countywide watermains rehabilitation strategy required as part of its water conservation programme. This strategy identifies specific defective water supply networks requiring rehabilitation and/or replacement. Work on three high priority contracts is already underway and is being funded under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010 -13. In parallel with these works, Donegal County Council is in the process of procuring consultants to prepare contract documents and oversee implementation of the next phase of watermain rehabilitation contracts. I understand that the Bunbeg Derrybeg to Glashagh Lower pipe replacement will be one of the Council's priority contracts in this next phase.
