Since the publication of the programme, Kerry County Council has completed its countywide watermains rehabilitation strategy required as part of its water conservation programme. This strategy identifies specific defective water supply networks requiring rehabilitation and/or replacement. The Council is also identifying the works to be included in the Countywide Watermains Rehabilitation Project Phase 1 contract to be progressed and funded under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2010 — 2012. My Department recently approved advance work proposals for the replacement of watermains in a number of areas in Kerry including the works for Ballydowney, Killarney to Beaufort Bridge, Killarney.
