Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government when reports on the results of the service indicators in local authorities for years subsequent to 2011 will be published; if he will provide figures on unaccounted for water (UFW) in 2012, 2013 and 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerData in relation to unaccounted for water in the period to 2013 is contained in the annual Local Government Management Agency (LGMA) Service Indicators reports. The most recent of these is the Service Indicators in Local Authorities 2013, which was published in December 2014. This report is available in the Oireachtas Library and on the LGMA’s website at: http://www.lgma.ie/en/serviceindicators/2004to2013. Since 1 January 2014, Irish Water has statutory responsibility for all aspects of water services planning, delivery and operation at national, regional and local levels. This includes dealing with unaccounted for water in the public water supply.
Irish Water has established a dedicated team to deal with representations and queries from public representatives. The team can be contacted via email to oireachtasmembers@water.ie or by telephone on a dedicated number, 1890 578 578.
