This grant is for those whose domestic water supply comes from either a well or a bore, and whose water quality was affected by the earthquake to the point where they now require an enhanced water filter (EWF) in order to make their water potable.
The grant is for an amount up to $5,000 per household which includes purchase, installation and test of the enhanced water filter. This grant is available only when all other avenues for funding assistance have been exhausted.
Full information about the grant, and an application form, are on the Red Cross website here.
