Payment of Grant

Following receipt of a claim for payment, the local authority will carry out an inspection of the works to establish that -

(a) the works proposed in the application have been satisfactorily undertaken and completed, and

(b) a water supply which is satisfactory in both quality and quantity has been provided.

Once this is established, the grant will be paid.

Where the local authority is of the opinion that the works have not been undertaken in accordance with the application, or have not been satisfactorily completed, the authority may -

(a) determine a revised approved cost,

(b) withhold payment of the grant until the applicant carries out such alterations to the existing works or such additional works as may be notified by the authority.

Where the local authority is of the opinion that the actual cost of the qualifying works is less than the approved cost, a revised approved cost will be determined.
