The Domestic Lead Remediation Grant Scheme is administered by local authorities on behalf of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. A National Strategy to Reduce Exposure to Lead in Drinking Water, was published in June 2015. Today’s announcement will be a welcome development for many households and I encourage people to consider replacing old lead pipes with the support of this funding. Previously the grant was means tested and the level of grant aid available was determined on the basis of gross household income and either 80% or 50% of the approved cost of the works. The enhanced funding will make the grant more accessible to householders to undertake these works.

There is no safe level of lead in drinking water supplies, say the WHO and the HSE.

The grant to remove lead pipes from the private side of the property will complement Irish Water’s Customer Opt-In programme which helps remove lead pipe connections from the public side. Tuesday’s announcement follows a review of that scheme to remove lead pipes within the boundaries of homes across the country. The Minister said: “Removal of lead pipes from the drinking water system is an important public health objective for this Government and increasing access to the grant will contribute greatly to achieving this goal. There is no safe level of lead and even a short length of lead pipework or lead plumbing fittings in a home can impact the health of people drinking the water, according to the World Health Organisation and HSE. “The enhanced funding will make the grant more accessible to householders to undertake these works. Homeowners and long-term renters with harmful lead plumbing can now get a grant for the total cost of having it replaced, up to €5,000.
