In July 2019 my Department launched the multi-annual Developer Provided Water Services Infrastructure Resolution Programme 2019-2021.  Bids were sought from local authorities around the country for funding under the programme. The closing date for bids was 18 September 2019.  A total number of 19 local authorities with Developer Provided Infrastructure in estates in their areas made applications for funding.

The following table lists the 19 local authorities that submitted applications in 2019 for funding support under programme; the number of bids submitted by those local authorities; and the estimated cost provided by them to sustainably resolve the DPI in order to support the taking-in-charge of these estates.

An Expert Panel was convened by my Department in February 2020 to evaluate the bids. This will include consideration of the costs submitted by local authorities which vary considerably. The Panel includes Departmental, stakeholder and independent representation in the Chair.  The Panel will have its first meeting on 19 March 2020 and further meetings as necessary will follow.
