Domestic Waste Water Treatment Systems (e.g. Septic Tanks) Grant Scheme

Initiation

Process

A householder may not request, or self-nominate for, an inspection.

Sites are selected in clusters by Limerick City & County Council (LC&CC) using risk-based methodologies and in accordance with annual quotas stipulated by the EPA. 

LC&CC then issues a notification of intent to inspect with at least ten working days’ notice to each selected householder.

• If deficiencies are identified, the householder is issued with an Advisory Notice requiring remedial measures to be undertaken within a specified deadline.
• Once works are completed, LC&CC conducts a Verification Inspection. 
• If satisfactory, a Notice of Compliance is issued and the householder may then be eligible to apply for grant aid for approved works (See Note)

Initiation

Process

If a householder determines that their property lies within a HSOCA, they may request an inspection by Limerick City & County Council (LC&CC) but they will need to engage a Competent Person first to evaluate the system and propose remedial works.

You can check if your house is located within a HSOCA here.

• The Competent Person’s report and Application Form DWWTS HSOCA are submitted to LC&CC.
• Prior to works commencing, LC&CC inspects the system.
• The householder is notified in writing if the proposed works and grant application are approved in principle.
• The householder may then proceed with approved works subject to approval from LC&CC’s Planning Department.
• Once works are completed, LC&CC carries out a Verification Inspection. 
• If satisfactory, the householder may then be eligible to apply for grant aid for certain qualifying works at this point (See Note).
