This scheme which is to serve 50 households is estimated to cost £275,000 and allowing for grants and the personal contributions of the members the deficit on the scheme would be £186,000.

Galway County Council were asked to give favourable consideration to the making of a special contribution of £186,000 to the group, towards the cost of headworks but the council have indicated that they are not in a position to consider the proposed subvention because of the financial commitments already made in the current year for special contributions to group water schemes.
