Amharc ar fhreagraFunding is available under my Department’s Rural Water Programme towards the provision or necessary improvement of an individual water supply in a house. Local authorities were informed of the introduction of the grant scheme and the criteria to be met by way of Circular Letter L8/97 of April 1997. The terms and conditions of the scheme are set out in an Explanatory Memorandum which is available from the local authorities and on my Department’s website at the following link; http://www.environ.ie/water/water-services/rural-water-programme/grant-provision-or-neccessary-improvment-individual-water.
