The Water Services Investment Programme (WSIP) is a multi-annual investment plan for the provision of major water and sewerage schemes. The current plan, Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013, is available in the Oireachtas library, and sets out the plans for investment in, inter alia, major wastewater projects. These projects are generally in respect of works in agglomerations of in excess of 500 p.e. Funding for smaller schemes is provided under my Department’s Rural Water Programme.

I will circulate with the Official Report a tabular statement setting out expenditure under the WSIP since 1992 on wastewater infrastructure, including wastewater treatment plants, construction of sewer networks, long sea outfalls and other sewage infrastructure.

*details of the split in expenditure on Wastewater and Water Supply is not available for 1992 & 1993
