C01 Operation & Maintenance of Water Supply<br />
The provision of effective water and wastewater infrastructure is essential to meet social, public health and<br />
environmental protection needs and is also vital to the availability of new housing and to the development of the<br />
industrial and services sectors.<br />
<strong>Roscommon</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Council</strong> operates twenty public water supply schemes serving over 40,000 customers and<br />
provides water to 122 semi private group water schemes. I propose to allow the sum of €4,485,730 for direct<br />
expenditure on water production as well as €903,570 to meet a proportion of overheads identified in appendix 1.<br />
Of particular importance is the Water Conservation Programme as it moves to its next phase of leakage control and<br />
establishment of a mains rehabilitation programme. To date an average 17% reduction of water usage has been<br />
achieved across the county with a 8,300m3 daily saving of water produced and an expectation of further<br />
reductions. While this will be reflected in reduced costs, the cost of energy and other consumables continue to<br />
increase.<br />
Capital investment in the improvement of the public water supplies throughout the county continues to progress<br />
with the provision of new water treatment plants a priority.<br />
