The locations named in the details supplied are not included as part of any Community Water Connections project listed for funding in the current Multi-Annual Rural Water Programme 2019-2021.

The Rural Water Working Group appointed by my Department is currently considering the scope of the upcoming Multi-Annual Rural Water Programme 2022-2024. I expect to receive a submission based on the recommendations of the Group early in the new year.

The bids process for the upcoming multi-annual programme will commence as quickly as possible after I have had an opportunity to consider the submission. It will then be a matter for the community at the locations named in the details supplied, working in partnership with the local authority, to consider seeking funding under the appropriate measure.
