View answerGrants of 75% of the approved costs or €2,031.58, whichever is the lesser, are available under my Department’s Rural Water Programme for the provision or necessary improvement of an individual water supply in a house.
Details of the conditions applying to the grants scheme, including the type of works that may qualify, can be obtained from local authorities, to whom responsibility for the administration of the Rural Water Programme has been devolved since 1997.
