Amharc ar fhreagraThe Roscommon Towns & Villages Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012 at an overall estimated cost of almost €23 million.
I understand that the contract for the collection networks at the various locations is well under way and that Roscommon County Council expects to complete the works by mid 2011. In addition, the Council has invited tenders for the provision of new wastewater treatment plants in the ten towns and villages under a Design Build and Operate (DBO) contract. The contract will also include the operation of new wastewater treatment plants already in place in Cootehall, Lisacul and Tulsk.
The Council is currently examining the tenders received for the DBO contract and expects to submit its tender recommendation for the award of the contract to my Department early in the New Year.
