My Department does not compile data on homeowners who have registered their Domestic Waste Water Treatment System (DWWTS), including septic tanks, with their local authority.

The DWWTS grant schemes are administered by the local authorities and my Department does not hold information on the number of applications for grants processed by each local authority.

However the following table sets out the number of DWWTS grants and the amount paid by my Department to each local authority in 2023.

To date in 2024, no local authority has submitted a request for payment for DWWTS grants to my Department.
