147. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will outline the cost that will occur in relation to the installation of the water meters; if he will provide a detailed breakdown of the roll-out of the water meters including cost of installation, cost per cubic metre per household and so on; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagra148. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide details of the companies that are installing the water meters in households; if they have any plans to replace the existing network at stages where leaks exist; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28318/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 147 and 148 together.
In relation to the roll-out of the metering programme, the procurement process and measures to address leakage, I refer to the reply to Questions Nos. 6, 7, 17 and 30 on today's Order Paper. It would be inappropriate to release estimates of the cost of the metering programme in advance of the completion of the ongoing procurement process.
