New houses which are built without the aid of State grants are ineligible for assistance towards the cost of installing piped water and/ or sewerage, during the construction of these houses. This is a logical consequence of the restrictions on new house grants which include £50 for piped water and £25 for sewerage facilities. An exception may, however, be made if piped water and sewerage facilities are provided following bona fide completion and occupation of a new house.
