Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services

Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation

2:00 pm

Mr. Jerry Grant:

The only point I would make is that we have data for 58% of households and we can provide those data, perform analytics and so on. We do not decide the policy. The data will be available. It is important to say, in terms of the 42% of people who are not metered, that if they do not have a meter there is no way practically to determine excessive usage. One has to have a default position on that. Over time, we may find somebody by the normal purposes of operational control but we will not be able to determine the user's usage unless they have a meter.
