Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department’s Multi-annual Rural Water Programme is the principal funding stream supporting investment in the rural water sector. The Programme provides capital funding to address priority challenges in areas such as water quality, resilience, and infrastructure for group water schemes and for locations not currently served by Uisce Éireann.
To date under the current cycle, which covers the period from 2024 to 2026, funding of €166 million has been allocated for more than 550 individual projects across the country.
Work is ongoing with local authorities, the National Federation of Group Water Schemes and other stakeholders to support the effective delivery of the Programme.
