Responsibility for the administration of the Rural Water Programme, which includes group sewerage schemes, has been devolved to local authorities since 1997. An increase in the grant for group sewerage schemes to €6,500 per house or 75% of the cost of the scheme, whichever is the lesser, was announced in December 2012. The previous rate of grant available was €2,031.58 per house or 75% of the cost, whichever was the lesser.
It was proposed, in the first instance, to carry out a number of pilot schemes based on the increased grant level. Following an examination of the proposals received from the local authorities, the schemes listed in the following tables were approved for grants by my Department in 2013 and 2014. Details of schemes approved for grants by local authorities from 2010 to 2012 under the devolved procedures, along with details relating to the numbers of houses benefiting and the current position on all individual schemes, would be available from the local authorities. My Department has asked local authorities to submit their requests for funding under the 2015 Rural Water Programme.
