View answer

The Broadford Sewerage Scheme is approved for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 under the Rural Towns and Villages Initiative at an estimated cost of€1.6m.

My Department is awaiting submission by Clare County Council of a revised Preliminary Report and updated Water Services Pricing Policy Report which will help determination of the overall funding arrangements for the scheme. Once these reports have been approved by my Department, the Council will be in a position to progress the scheme to construction stage.
