Amharc ar fhreagraIn May 2014, the Government approved a total provision of €406m in equity to Irish Water in 2015 (€222m) and 2016 (€184m) to support increased investment in the public water services infrastructure. The provision of this funding will allow for capital investment by Irish Water at a rate which is about 33% above existing levels. It will allow for the progression of key water services infrastructural projects including the introduction of a first fix scheme to address customer side leakage that is highlighted through the metering programme.
