Amharc ar fhreagraSince 1 January 2014, Uisce Éireann (UÉ) has statutory responsibility for water services planning, delivery and operation at a national, regional and local level.
This includes responsibility for addressing lead risks in the public water system for which UÉ has its own Lead in Drinking Water Mitigation Plan.
I have no function in this matter. However, Uisce Éireann 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, 0818 578 578.
