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 Kerry during the period of the Programme.

The Ardfert Sewerage Scheme Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade is included as a contract to start during the life of the Programme.

The network element of the scheme is included in the Programme to advance through planning during the life of the Programme.
