Circular L7/03 (WSP)
To Each Local Authority
RE. NATIONAL URBAN WASTE WATER STUDY
A Chara,
I am to refer to Circular L6/2003 (WSP) dated 14 th April 2003 regarding
a review of Draft Catchment Reports for the National Urban Waste
Water Study.
The consultant engineers on this project EG Pettit and Company, Barry
and Partners, White Young Green Ireland Ltd and Babtie Group Ltd
have, concluded the data collection and assessment process and
prepared Draft Catchment Reports for your detailed consideration. The
draft reports for your administrative area are enclosed.
Local authority consideration, comment and observations are critical to
the integrity of the data sets and the findings and recommendations of
the county and city reports and the national report.
You are advised that:

Your authority has a four-week period from the above date to
consider the enclosed reports and to make comment and
observations.

The Draft Catchment Reports MUST be returned to the Department
with your comments and observations.

Any material provided after the end of the four-week period may not
given the time constraints for publication etc. be incorporated into
the final version of the report.
The following should be noted:
1. Contact details for the consulting engineers is attached where
further information, clarification or assistance is required in respect
of the Draft Catchment Reports. See Appendix 1.
2. The Departments Inspectors are also available to assist this process
as required
3. Where there is an unavoidable delay in providing your response
within the four week deadline the Department should be contacted to
agree a new delivery date; you are advised that there is very little
scope in this regard. The Departments contact person is Ms. Brid
Conway, Water Services Policy Unit, Phone 8882162, e-mail
brid_conway@environ.irlgov.ie.
4. The draft reports along with your comment and observation should
be returned to the Departments Inspectors for consideration. Your
response should accompany the draft reports and be transmitted via
Ms. Brid Conway, Water Services Policy Unit, Block 1, Floor 2, Irish
Life Centre, Dublin 2.
This is a final opportunity for your authority to consider and comment on
the information in the enclosed draft reports. You are reminded that the
National Urban Waste Water Study is central to the strategic
development of urban waste water services and to achieving current
and future national standards and the requirements of EU Directives.
The deliverables will be used as the basis for decision making both
locally and nationally and make a significant contribution to determining
future investment priorities.
We look forward to a full and timely response.
Is mise le meas,
