To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government the number of households who have registered their private waste water systems to date broken down county by county; the percentage who have registered in each county; and if he intends extending the deadline for registration for the purposes of being eligible for the upgrade grants to incentivise further householders to register; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As of 6 February 2013, applications in respect of the on-site wastewater treatment systems of 376,451 owners, who have registered on-line, by post or in person at their local authority offices, had been processed and approximately 25,000 additional registration applications were awaiting processing by the bureau operated by the Local Government Management Agency on that date. Details of the number of processed registrations for each County and City Council up to 6 February are set out in the table below . Registration facilities have been available since 26 June 2012 and have been comprehensively publicised. The deadline for householders to register was 1 February. My Department will be discussing with the local authorities the approach to be taken in respect of unregistered systems in the coming weeks.
