Malta Tap Water Scheme
In 2025, Malta took a bold step towards a cleaner, healthier future with the launch of the Tap Water Scheme (TW Scheme) — a national initiative to encourage households to shift from bottled water to filtered tap water. This scheme is not just about saving money, but It is about protecting your health, your wallet, and the environment.
If you are still spending hundreds of euros annually on bottled water, here is everything you need to know about how this scheme works, who it is for, and how you can benefit.
What Is the 2025 Tap Water Scheme?
The Tap Water Scheme, administered by the Regulator for Energy and Water Services (REWS), aims to reduce the massive plastic waste caused by bottled water while improving access to clean, great-tasting drinking water at home.
This grant supports the purchase and installation of activated carbon water filtration systems, helping families transition to safer and more sustainable tap water.
How Much Can You Save?
Under this scheme, eligible applicants can claim back up to 60% of the purchase and installation costs of a water filtration system, with a maximum claim of €100.
For example:
- If your filtration system costs €90, you will get €54 back.
- If it costs €129, you will get the full €77.40.
- And if it costs €170 or more, you will receive the maximum grant of €100.
That means better water for less money — a win-win for your home and the planet.

- Private individuals (natural persons) for residential use
