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. Chris Jones:

It is difficult to say. There are large parts of our network that go back to the Industrial Revolution - the creation of mining and heavy metal industries across south Wales - so much of our infrastructure dates back to this time. Coming across pipes that are 100 years old is not unusual. On Monday, I was at the bottom of a dam looking at pipes and valves from 1904.
