Group water subsidy per house to go as high as €281

New measures to improve rural water services will ensure that members of group water schemes get comparable benefits to what Irish Water does for the public supply, said Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Eoghan Murphy, writes Stephen Cadogan.

He was announcing an over 60% increase in maximum subsidy per group water scheme household, and said a review of wider investment needs of rural water services will commence in early 2018.
