Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
625. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the percentage of water that is being lost through leaks in each county in the State, for each of the past five years in tabular form. [39791/22]
View answerSince 1 January 2014, Irish Water has statutory responsibility for all aspects of water services planning, delivery and operation at national, regional and local levels. The day-to-day operation of the public water system, including the leakage reduction programme, is therefore a matter for Irish Water and as Minister I have no function in relation to this matter. 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. It is understood that Irish Water will readily supply the required information on request.
