Mr. Sean Laffey:

We estimate that there are 180,000 properties supplied by Uisce Éireann that have a lead connection. Therefore, essentially, we are responsible. I will say upfront that there are no lead public mains in the system at all. We have clarified that. We are responsible for the connection from the pipe in the road to the boundary of the customers' property and then they are responsible from the boundary of the property into their tap. To date, we have replaced roughly 60,000 lead connections. Of the remaining 120,000 customers or households we serve, we have actually installed orthophosphate dosing systems at our water treatment plants. What that does over the course of six to eight months is coat the inside of the lead pipe with a barrier.
