Prior Inspection


The local authority will carry out a prior inspection to -

-   determine eligibility and whether the proposed works qualify, and

-   in the case of an application relating to the improvement of an existing supply, determine  whether such supply is seriously deficient.

Where the applicant is not, at the time of application, able to provide full details of the proposed works (for example, in the case of a new well), the local authority will only confirm whether or not the applicant is eligible for a grant.

The applicant will be required to submit three quotations for all works for the Authority to determine the most appropriate contractor.

The authority will consider whether the relevant works qualify, and determine an approved cost and amount of grant, when full details of such works are provided.
