The water in Kilkenny is very expensive so. My next question is for Mr. McGowan. According to the C&AG's report, the cost from 2009 to date of the 27% to 40% of treated water lost is €5.3 million. If the percentage of water lost is 27% to 40%, the cost of which is €5.3 million, will the regulator prevent Irish Water passing on that charge to the consumer because it is the fault of someone else rather than the consumer that that water was lost? How will Mr. McGowan treat that type of scenario?
