This additional funding brings to more than €15million the amount provided nationally this year under the Department’s Rural Water Programme.
The funding is aimed at improving water quality in existing group water schemes, helping new group water schemes and the upgrading works in group distribution networks. Funding also goes towards group sewerage schemes.
