Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Water and Sewerage Schemes in County Kildare.
Proposals for the provision of a regional water supply to serve the towns of Kilcock, Maynooth, Leixlip and Celbridge were approved in August, 1940. The work, however, was not proceeded with at the time as it was not possible to secure the necessary materials. The proposals are being kept under review and will be proceeded with in stages according as supplies become available.
No proposals have been received in regard to sewerage schemes for the towns mentioned. The provision of sewerage facilities could not be considered pending the installation of a water supply.
