Ms Cathy Mannion:

To the extent that where there are certain things that need to be done - it might be developers doing something in a housing estate - there has to be a standard rate of charge. That keeps it simple for everybody, but most domestic customers will not have a need to call Irish Water. It is very different from the first fix phase. When that is in place, the customer will not pay for the repair of the leakage, however it is defined. It will be recovered by Irish Water.
