Amharc ar fhreagraThe Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2013 provides for the development of a comprehensive range of new water services infrastructure in County Longford. The Longford Sewerage Scheme is included in the Programme as a scheme to advance through planning. I understand that Longford County Council is in the process of procuring Consulting Engineers to prepare a Preliminary Report for the scheme. As part of the preparation of the Preliminary Report, the Consulting Engineer will examine the feasibility of providing a sewerage collection in the South Eastern Environs of Longford Town which includes Feraghfad.
