Today is the final day for registration with Irish Water in order to be eligible for the Government's Water Conservation Grant.

Approximately 1.32 million households have registered with Irish Water to date.

A €100 Water Conservation Grant will be paid beginning in September 2015 to all households that have registered with Irish Water by midnight tonight, whether or not they are connected to public drinking water or waste water services.

Households do not need to do anything further at this stage in relation to the grant once they have registered with Irish Water as the Department of Social Protection has confirmed it will be writing to registered households beginning in late August explaining how to apply for the grant.

The grant will be paid by the Department of Social Protection on behalf of the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government to the occupier who registers with Irish Water in respect of their principal, private residence.



Householders can call LoCall 1890 448 448 to register with Irish Water or alternatively as high calls volumes are expected in the call centre today, can register online at www.water.ie.
