Mr. Garrett Blaney:

There is also rebed technology. Setting up a pricing structure encourages people to put in their own technology rather than pay for a service from Irish Water. On the rain-harvesting question, one would have to separate potable from non-potable water. People could use rainwater to flush toilets and so on. These technologies will all have a commercial signal, once pricing from Irish Water comes in as people will then have an alternative to Irish Water.
