The eligibility criteria for the Water Conservation Grant are set out in the Water Services Act 2014 (Water Conservation Grant) Regulations 2015. Persons who register with Irish Water, as required under Section 5(2)(a) of the Water Service Act 2014, on or before 30 June 2015 shall be eligible to receive the grant in 2015 if they were normally resident at the principal private residence on that date. These criteria were widely communicated by my Department, on www.watergrant.ie and in the print and radio media.

I will be making further regulations to provide for the eligibility criteria for the 2016 Water Conservation Grant in due course.
