Written answers

My Department awaits the submission of Cork County Council's contract documents for the Bandon Sewerage Scheme, which is included for funding in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007 — 2009 at an estimated cost of almost €15 million.

Local authorities were asked in July 2009 to submit an assessment of needs for water and sewerage services to my Department by 23 October last. My Department has commenced consideration of these assessments, which will form a key input to the development of the 2010 to 2012 Water Services Investment Programme. In conducting their assessments, local authorities were asked to prioritise schemes and contracts for progression over the coming years based on key environmental and economic criteria. It is anticipated that the Water Services Investment Programme 2010 to 2012 will be published in early 2010.
