Water charge relief

Hello Folks, does anybody knows how to request the water charge relief to revenue? I din't find any info on their website.

Does it exist yet? Aren't the current rates set as if the relief has been applied to everybody?

Are you talking about the 100 euro water conservation grant from the DSP?

No that is the water conservation grant. I'm talking about the 20% relief similarly to what we get for health insurance

There doesn't appear to be one.

"The Water Conservation Grant replaces the tax rebate and social protection measures previously announced, as it is a more straightforward means of addressing water issues for all households on equal terms and will reduce household’s outlay on water services both now and in the future."

Initially at least they never actually took the tax rebate off the books despite saying so - one of the papers made a point of it in a consumer article during the year. I suspect it has been since (likely during the 2016 budget adjustments), but I've not looked in to.
