Amharc ar fhreagraThe Kildare Town Sewerage has been approved for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007. My Department is currently examining Kildare County Council's Preliminary, Public Private Partnership Applicability and Water Services Pricing Policy Reports for the scheme and a decision will be conveyed to the Council as quickly as possible. While the Council has already submitted contract documents for the upgrading of the sewerage collection network, my Department must complete its appraisal of the scheme as a whole before authorising the invitation of tenders Council for all or part of the scheme.
