The Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013, a copy of which is in the Oireachtas Library, provides for the commencement of some 340 contracts over the duration of the programme. A review of the programme in June 2011 saw the addition of a further 39 contracts.

To date some 133 contracts have been completed. 100 of these were listed in the programme as at construction and the remaining 33 were listed as new starts. Details of these contracts can be found on my Department's website. A further 94 contracts were in progress at the start of the year, and of these 74 are new starts in the programme.
