I have no function in relation to this issue. The policy and legislation pertaining to water treatment plants is under the remit of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
I am advised that Uisce Éireann has statutory responsibility for all aspects of water services planning, delivery and operation at national, regional and local levels. I understand that Uisce Éireann has established a dedicated team to deal with representations and queries from public representatives and that the team can be contacted directly via an email to oireachtasmembers@water.ie or by telephone on a dedicated number: 0818 578 578. Furthermore, the Agency is an independent public body established under the Environmental Protection Agency Act, 1992, and is entirely independent in the exercise of its functions.
