I propose to take Questions Nos. 332 and 358 together.
In November 2023, I announced substantial improvements to the terms and conditions of all three Domestic Waste Water Treatment System (DWWTS) grants available to households. At the time my Department also advised all local authorities of the changes made which are an increase of the grant amount available to €12,000 from €5,000 and the removal of the requirement, for the purposes of the grants, on households to have registered their DWWTS with their local authority.
Full details are available on my Department's website at www.gov.ie/en/publication/6cc1e-domestic-waste-water-treatment-systems-septic-tanks/.
Each local authority has a dedicated Rural Water Liaison Officer who is responsible for the day to day implementation of the grant schemes in their area. The Rural Water Liaison Officer can be contacted at the relevant local authority for further information.
