To promote sustainable use of water and to enhance water conservation in households, the Department of Social Protection will administer, on behalf of my Department, a €100 water conservation grant for households (principal private dwellings) that complete a valid response to Irish Water’s customer registration process. It is proposed that the grant will be paid in one instalment to all eligible households beginning in September 2015 and on an annual basis thereafter. My Department is liaising with the Approved Housing Body sector to ensure that vulnerable persons residing in supported accommodation in the sector are facilitated in applying for and receiving the grant.
