Multi Annual Rural Water Programme
Multi Annual Rural Water Programme 2024-2026
The New Multi Annual Rural Water Programme 2024-2026 has been launched by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage. There are 9 individual funding measures available under MARWP 2024-2026 and each is directed by a specific activity e.g. source protection, water treatment, network improvement.
Under this new Framework no new Community Wastewater Connection projects (Sewerage Schemes) are being funded. There is a funding measure available for new Community Water Connections projects (Water Schemes) however there must be a minimum of 25 houses on the proposed Scheme. Also the funding under Measure A3 for amalgamation and/or Rationalisation of Group Water Schemes is only available to private Group Water Schemes. For more information on this please refer to page 45 of the Framework Document.
There are 9 individual funding measures available under this new programme. For full details on these measures (Framework) and terms and conditions please click here.
Leitrim County Council invited submissions for funding under this 3-year programme from existing group water schemes, group sewerage schemes or proposed group water schemes (Community Water Connections) with a minimum of 25 houses. All submissions received were considered by Leitrim County Council and 31 no. applications for schemes/projects have now been submitted to the Department for funding. In July 2024, we were advised that all 31 no. applications have deemed eligible under the Programme and have progressed to the second stage of the process, this stage is the evaluation and review of each individual project by an independent Expert Panel and this stage is currently ongoing.
