Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 May 2017
441. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government further to Parliamentary Question No. 402 of 21 March 2017, the number of meter boxes that were not reused by Uisce Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19382/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer to the reply to Question No. 402 of 21 March 2017.
Irish Water committed to reusing previously installed meter boxes where possible. Irish Water examined each pre-existing meter box to establish if it could be reused. In some cases it was not possible to reuse the meter box for a variety of reasons including insufficient depth of cover, pre-existing damage to the meter box or incompatibility with the Irish Water meter. Irish Water does not have a record of the number of meter boxes not reused.
