Water Tariffs: Commission for Energy Regulation

4:55 pm

Ms. Cathy Mannion:

Currently, group water schemes are considered to have non-domestic charging arrangements in place. On whether their customers will receive allowances, I am not sure that they do because they are not considered to be domestic customers. When Irish Water takes over a scheme, to the extent that they will then become domestic consumers, they will receive all of the domestic allowances.
