Schools are required to meet a range of public utility and other costs and the provision of resources for schools is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Education and Science. In relation to water charges, the Government decided in January 2008 to introduce transitional arrangements for charging schools for water services. These transitional arrangements will terminate at the end of 2009.
