Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Response to National Emergencies: Irish Water

9:30 am

Mr. Jerry Grant:

Yes. As part of the connections agreement, we have a complete new suite of specifications and standards for every aspect of water and wastewater services constructed by developers on site. We expect that before we make the connection. We also take in charge straightaway. There is no longer a taking in charge period. We now take in charge on the day the connection is made but only after we are satisfied the work has been done to our specification. We have engineers on the ground who supervise the work. We are not leaving the responsibility to anybody else.
