Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services

Scottish Water, Welsh Water and the Commission for Energy Regulation

1:30 pm

Mr. Douglas Millican:

There are two different aspects to this. In terms of trying to drive forward the efficiency improvement in Scottish Water, part of which involved leakage reduction, district meters do the job of driving forward that efficiency improvement inside our business. In respect of the customer dimension, that is very much a policy choice of the Scottish Government. For a variety of objectives, they are largely unmetered.
