I can confirm that I plan to announce the new Multi-annual Rural Water Programme with the individual funding measures in the coming weeks. Local authorities will then be invited to submit applications for funding for priority projects in their areas.

The Rural Water Working Group which is made up of the key stakeholders in the Sector played a vital role that allowed my Department to finalise this important work.
