Responsibility for the administration of the Rural Water Programme has been devolved to local authorities since 1997. The selection and approval of individual group schemes for advancement under the programme, within the overall priorities set by my Department and subject to the block grant funding provided, is, therefore, a matter for the local authorities. By far the major part of the block grant payments and allocations detailed in the table relate to group water schemes. However, a small proportion, details of which would be available from the local authorities, may relate to group sewerage schemes.
