Takeover of Group Schemes

Uisce Éireann have established standards and procedures to allow for the taking in charge of a group water scheme. A scheme may apply to be taken in charge by Uisce Éireann through Leitrim County Council. A grant, for necessary upgrade works, to allow for the takeover, may be made available on review by the Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage through the Multi Annual Rural Water Programme. A grant of up to 100% of the total cost of any required upgrade works may be made available on review by the Rural Water Section.
