The Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013, provides for the development of a comprehensive range of new water services infrastructure in County Kerry. The Programme includes contracts under construction and to commence to the value of over €92 million in the country during the period of the Programme.

A Contract for a wastewater treatment plant for Tarbert is included amongst the list of contracts in the county to start in the period 2010 – 2013 with the network element of the scheme to advance through planning during the same period. The Preliminary Report for the scheme was submitted by Kerry County Council and is being assessed by my Department. However, the Council was requested to provide additional information to enable my Department to complete its assessment. The Council has submitted the required information and my Department is now finalising its assessment. A decision will be conveyed to the Council shortly.
