The provision and safeguarding of infrastructural investment is a critical component of the sustainable development strategy of Elphin. Without an environmentally sound means of supplying water and disposing of wastewater, these principles cannot be met. 4.3.2 Policy Context The provision or the facilitation of infrastructure provision is a mandatory objective required by the Planning and Development Act, 2000-2006 for inclusion into the County Development Plan. As such, this Local Area Plan includes objectives for the provision of adequate services and aims to continue the development and improvement of the water supply, wastewater treatment and surface water drainage systems, to meet the anticipated requirements of the area. In terms of water supply, it is important to ensure an adequate, continual potable and clean supply of water to all people, in accordance with applicable quality standards. The provision of water and sanitary services throughout the county is guided by the ‘Water Services Investment Programme-Assessment of Needs’ 2007-2014, which has been adopted by Roscommon County Council. It is the policy of Roscommon County Council, as the Water Services Authority, to provide water services in a sustainable manner in accordance with all National and EU legislation. The Council shall take cognisance of all relevant legislation, including the following; European Union Water Framework Directive (2000), Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations (2001), and the European Communities (Drinking Water) Regulations (2007). The Ground Water Protection study and mapping produced by the Geological Survey of Ireland (2003), displaying the ground water characteristics of the County, will be consulted in the development management process. The Draft European Communities Environmental Objectives (Surface Waters) Regulations, (2008), have been developed for the purposes of responding further to the requirements of: The Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) which requires that all surface waters achieve ‘good status’ by 2015. The Dangerous Substances Directive (2006/11/EC – formerly 76/464/EC) on pollution caused by certain dangerous substances discharged into the aquatic environment. A judgment of the European Court of Justice in June 2005 in relation to the Dangerous Substances Directive. A proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on water quality standards (Common Position adopted in June 2008). Elphin Local Area Plan 2009-2015 Page 23
