Grants

Grants of up to £800 per property to improve private water supplies (both domestic and commercial) are available from Local Authorities.

If more than one property is supplied from a single source, each of the properties can apply for a separate grant. On most occasions, a joint approach from all owners and occupiers is likely to provide the most effective long term solution to improve water quality. Tenants can also apply for grants.

It is important that improvement works are not carried out before a grant application is approved, as the local authority must agree that the expenditure is necessary.
