A proposal costing £19,000 to improve the water supply situation in Johnstownbridge was recently received in my Department and will be given sympathetic consideration. However, I am not in a position to indicate at this stage when a capital allocation, if any, will be made as the proposal must be examined in the light of demands for capital for other similar proposals and the limited capital available for these.
