View answerThe Arigna, Boyle/Ardcarne, Roscommon Central and South Roscommon Regional Water Supply Schemes are included as Water Treatment Plant Upgrade contracts to start and a Network Contract at construction in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013.
My Department’s letter, approving the commitment of the necessary capital funding of just over €12 million for the scheme to enable Roscommon County Council complete the contract formalities with the successful tenderer and to commence, as soon as possible, the works involved in the Design Build Operate Contract on the scheme, issued on 5 November, 2013. This approval of funding provides for the construction of five Treatment Plants and other ancillary works on the scheme. The progression of this contract to construction is now a matter for Roscommon County Council.
