The Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 provides for the development of a comprehensive range of new water services infrastructure in South Tipperary. The Programme includes contracts under construction and to commence to the value of some €41 million in the county during the period of the Programme.

The Burncourt & Fethard Regional Water Supply Scheme Water Treatment Plants Contract is included among the contracts to commence during the lifetime of the Programme, with further contracts for Burncourt and Fethard to advance through planning.

The revised Design Build Operate Contract Documents for the water treatment plants are currently being examined in my Department and a decision will be conveyed to the Council as soon as possible. When approved by my Department, the Council can then proceed to invite tenders for this contract.
