Written answers

I refer to the reply to Question No. 245 of 31 May 2018, setting out the arrangements in place under the Water Services (No. 2) Act 2013 whereby Irish Water charges customers for connections to water and wastewater services in accordance with a water charges plan determined by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU), which remains the up-to-date position on the matter. As Minister, I must respect the independent statutory powers and functions which the Oireachtas has conferred on Irish Water and on the CRU in this matter and cannot involve myself in individual cases.

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.

Question No. 566 answered with Question No. 558.
