Standards of Service in Water Supply: Irish Water and CER
4:20 pm
Ms Cathy Mannion:
There will be incentives for Irish Water to achieve certain standards. In addition, as with energy, there will be certain payments to consumers for non-performance. On the measures against which we will decide whether to pay consumers, we will have to consult and have further discussions with the EPA. Deputy Coffey mentioned water pressure. I do not know whether water pressure is one of those issues. That will all come out in our consultation in the coming months. I am not saying it will not be. I am only saying I am not sure either way at this point.
