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:

As a rule of thumb, the sewers are as old as the properties. On the water side, we certainly have a number of well-functioning pipes that are up to 150 years old. Equally, there will be other pipes that were put in during the post- Second World War period that we have had to replace. It is a case of horses for courses.
