A number of contracts for the Arklow Sewerage Scheme are included in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 to commence construction within the period of the Programme.

I understand that Wicklow County Council has sought tenders for the South Green and Harbour Road sewer network contract. Wicklow County Council has been advancing the planning and design for the proposed wastewater treatment plant in Arklow and a number of interceptor sewers, prior to submitting the tender documents for this contract to my Department for approval. However, as further legal proceedings are now in train in relation to issues relevant to these contracts, it is not possible to say when these contracts will be advanced.
