The Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 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 – 2013. The inclusion of the scheme in the current Water Services Investment Programme reflects the importance attached to this scheme by my Department.

My Department is currently considering Galway County Council's revised Design Review Report for the Oughterard Sewerage Scheme and a reply will issue to the Council as soon as possible. Once approved by my Department, the Council can then proceed with the preparation of contract documents for the scheme.
