175. Deputy Simon Harris asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government his plans for the provision of a new sewerage treatment plant (details supplied) in County Wicklow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46656/12]
View answerThe Arklow Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 as a scheme to commence construction within the period of the Programme. My Department approved Wicklow County Council’s contract documents for the South Green and Harbour Road sewer network contract in June 2012 and I understand that the contract is now out to tender. Wicklow County Council must complete the planning and design for the proposed wastewater treatment plant in Arklow prior to submitting the tender documents for this contract to my Department for approval.
