Grant Information on Private Domestic Well Drilling in Ireland
Dear
Patrick Briody & Sons Ltd. are happy to issue this information leaflet as a result of general queries, which have arisen with the introduction of:
Grant for the provision or necessary improvement of an individual water supply to a Dwelling house.
The information is believed to be correct but this cannot be guaranteed. Opinions constitute our judgement, which are subject to change and should not be relied upon - you should form your own opinion about any action and take appropriate advice.
CRITICAL ELIGIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE:
If a public or group scheme water supply has already been or can reasonably be provided or the area in which the house is located is about to be served by a public water supply or a group scheme water supply, you are unlikely to be eligible for grant approval.
A person is not eligible for a grant where the house is under construction or has been constructed within the previous 7 years, or has received grant assistance towards provision or improvement of a water supply to the house within the previous 10 years.
Works do not qualify, where, in the opinion of the local authority;
They relate to the provision or upgrading of a supply of water for non-domestic purposes,
or
where the works have been carried out before the local authority’s prior inspection takes place.
Payment of the grant is subject to a water supply, which is satisfactory in both quality and quantity. Please note, achieving water quality which complies with critical chemical and bacteria parameters is generally difficult. The emphasis will be on safety of water for consumption purposes. Thus, a situation can be envisaged where drilling and pump installation work, including civil works etc may be completed and paid for however, due to unsafe water quality, determined by a water quality analysis, all or part of a provisionally approved grant payment may not be issued.
