1462. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if local authorities have the authority to turn off water supply to business premises in a specific circumstance (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31614/15]
View answerWith effect from 1 January 2014, Irish Water is responsible for public water services. It should be noted that the existing arrangements for all non-domestic customers are remaining in place with no changes for the time being in line with the Water Charges Plan approved by the CER . On this basis, the local authorities are continuing to bill and provide services to non-domestic water customers as agents of Irish Water.
