Government amendment No. 20: In page 11, between lines 36 and 37, to insert the following: “Definition in this Part 16. In this section “approved water charges plan” means a water charges plan approved under subsection (9) of section 17.”.This section provides that Irish Water shall charge each customer in receipt of water services. The charge to be levied under this section shall be calculated in accordance with the water charges plan, as set out in section 17. Subsection (4) provides that where a charge remains unpaid, it shall be recoverable by Irish Water as a contract debt. Subsection (7) provides powers for Irish Water to either reduce or disconnect the supply of a customer who has not paid a water bill. However, subsection (8) provides that a household cannot be disconnected for non-payment of a bill. Disconnections would, therefore, only occur in respect of non-domestic premises.
