asked the Minister for the Environment the local authorities who (1) charged for the supply of water to householders in 1982; (2) the amount charged in each case; and (3) the amount collected in each area.
: According to returns made to my Department by the county councils in 1982, all of them except Leitrim and Louth charged householders for water in 1982 but, while the amounts collected in each case are not available in my Department, particulars of the scale of charges in each case are set out in a tabular statement which I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
