Mr. Paul McGowan:

There are several key dates. In April, we will publish our proposals – they will simply be proposals - around the structure of water charges, without identifying what the level might be. These relate to how an assessed charge might be structured, perhaps depending on different factors such as house type or occupancy levels. All of these things remain to be worked out. Where a meter is already installed we will determine how the water charge might be structured in that scenario. They are the options. Then, in June we will have costs based on the submission that we will have analysed from Uisce Éireann. Then both of those come together in August for a final decision on the structure and level of charges.
