Amharc ar fhreagraOn 17 December 2012 I announced my intention to introduce a grant scheme to provide financial assistance to households whose septic tanks and other domestic waste water treatment systems are deemed to require remediation following an inspection under the Water Services (Amendment) Act 2012. The grant scheme will apply to treatment systems which are the subject of an Advisory Notice issued by a water services authority following an inspection carried out under the 2012 Act and the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Inspection Plan 2013. Full details of the scheme will be defined in regulations which I will make in advance of inspections commencing later this year.
