A Rainwater Harvesting Scheme was introduced by my Department on 8 March 2011 in order to provide grant-aid for the installation of equipment for rainwater harvesting and treatment. The rate of grant-aid is 40% up to a maximum eligible investment ceiling of €25,000, i.e. a maximum grant of €10,000.

Details of the terms and conditions of the Scheme and the relevant grant application form are available on my Department's website.
