Amharc ar fhreagraThe West Roscommon Regional Water Supply Scheme is included as a Water Treatment Plant Upgrade Contract at Granlahan to start in my Department’s Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013. Under the Annual Review of the Programme, carried out in 2011, my Department approved the inclusion in the programme of an Advance Networks Upgrade Contract – the Castlerea Urban and Regional Water Supply Improvement Works, at an estimated cost of €4.465 million.
The Supplementary Design Review Report for the scheme was approved by my Department in April 2013. I understand that Roscommon County Council is currently engaged in the process of selecting the preferred tenderer for the above-mentioned Advance Networks Upgrade Contract. The Council is also engaged in the process of procuring consultants to prepare Tender Documents for the Water Treatment Plant Upgrade Contract and the Castlerea element of the scheme.
