Private Water Supply Grant

The Private Water Supply Grant provides up to £800 per property to improve private water supplies in Scotland. The grant can be used to make improvements such as installing treatment systems, replacing lead pipes, and putting in new water tanks. The program is administered by local councils on behalf of Scottish Ministers. To be eligible, the private water supply must be the main or sole source of drinking water and must need improvement to make it safe. Local councils may provide additional funding for applicants with low incomes. The grant cannot be used for ongoing maintenance costs or to connect to the mains water network.
