Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services

Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation

2:00 pm

Mr. Jerry Grant:

Obviously, any revenue from an excessive use charge would depend completely on the point at which the allowance is set and the amount of the tariff. The assumption is that if it is taken as given that 1% of households use about 20% of water, many people use a lot of water. There must be an assumption, and we have made the assumption, that an excessive use charge will solve this problem as people will fix their leaks.
