Question:579 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government when the water supply scheme will be upgraded at Adare and Patrickswell, County Limerick. [32809/06]
View answerThe Limerick County Trunk Water Mains Scheme which will supply Patrickswell and Adare from the Clareville Water Treatment Plant, which is about to undergo major upgrading and refurbishment, is approved for construction in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005 – 2007.
The trunk mains to extend the Clareville supply to Patrickswell are already in place. I have recently approved Limerick County Council's proposals to invite tenders for new trunk mains between Patrickswell and Kilgobbin. The pipework to extend the scheme from Kilgobbin to Adare will be laid in conjunction with the Adare/Patrickswell Sewerage Scheme. My Department is awaiting additional information from Limerick County Council in order to finalise examination of the Council's Contract Documents for the sewerage scheme.
