Simple terms explainer:
Councils manage a government-funded scheme that helps households and businesses ensure their water supply is safe. Eligible applicants can receive up to £800 per property toward improvements such as installing treatment systems, replacing lead pipes, or upgrading tanks. In cases of need or hardship, some councils may offer enhanced grants beyond £800, particularly for issues like lead contamination or water scarcity. The process typically involves a risk assessment of the supply, submission of cost estimates, council approval, completion of works, and final inspection.
