Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 September 2014
261. Deputy Ciara Conway asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide a detailed timetable or schedule with a breakdown by area showing when water meters will be installed in Waterford city and county; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36324/14]
View answerThe Water Services Act 2013 provided for the establishment of Irish Water as an independent subsidiary within the Bord Gáis Éireann Group and assigned the necessary powers to allow Irish Water to undertake the water metering programme. The meter installation programme commenced in August 2013 and will be completed by mid-2016. The timeframe and the allocation of resources for the installation of meters in each region is an operational matter for Irish Water.
