Amharc ar fhreagraSince 1 January 2014, Irish Water has statutory responsibility for all aspects of water services planning, delivery and operation at national, regional and local levels. Under section 7 of the Water Services (No. 2) Act 2013, I have no direct function in relation to this matter.
However, as part of Irish Water’s commitment to support growth and development, it publishes annual water supply and waste water treatment capacity registers, details of which are available on the Irish Water website at www.water.ie/connections/developer-services/capacity-registers/.
Irish Water has also 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, 0818 578 578.
