The Athgarvan sewerage scheme is an element of the Upper Liffey Valley regional sewerage scheme which is currently under construction. However, the Athgarvan scheme cannot be progressed to construction until the Kilcullen element of the main scheme has been completed.

A proposal for a new waste water treatment plant and collection system for the Curragh, Brownstown, Cutbush and Suncroft area of County Kildare was included, but not as a high priority, in the list of water and sewerage schemes submitted by Kildare County Council in response to the Department's request to local authorities to undertake a fresh assessment of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The priority lists were taken into account in the framing of the Water Services Investment Programme 2000 to 2002, announced last July. Given the priority afforded to the scheme by the council, the level of competing demand and the funding available, it was not possible to include it in the programme at that time.
