Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services
Scottish Water, Welsh Water and the Commission for Energy Regulation

Mr. Chris Jones:
It is advantageous to us because it gives customers a choice over how they are going to be charged for their service. That is the primary benefit. It is a monopoly. It is an essential service. We take great pride in the fact that we provide an essential service to our customers, but they do not get choice over that. Having a choice as to payment method has worked well as a policy.
