The Commission for Energy Regulation has proposed that householders should be given the option of installing a water meter which would entitle them to a tax rebate if they use less water than average. It has also proposed that grants should be given to people who invest in water saving measures and that the installation of water of meters be mandatory in new builds.

I have two brief questions on that. Are there any international examples of an opt-in tax rebate system? Has CER considered what types of water conservation grants should be given?
