Through the Domestic Waste Water Treatment grants, financial assistance is provided by my Department to householders to replace, carry out remediation work, repair or to upgrade their domestic waste water treatment systems.

The grants are available for properties with environmental needs rather than general in application. I can confirm that my Department is currently reviewing all matters relating to the grants including the current value available for households. The review is expected to be completed in the coming months and I will consider any recommendations made.

The grants are administered by the local authorities on behalf of my Department and further information is available at www.gov.ie/en/publication/a524a-group-water-schemes-and-rural-water-issues/
