Question 258: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of water meters or water connections that have been installed in the four Dublin counties and in each local authority area across the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14496/11]

For a number of years now, domestic water meters have been installed on group water supplies which were being upgraded under the Rural Water Programme. In addition, non-domestic water customers are required to be metered and I understand that the local authorities have now largely completed the installation of water meters in the non-domestic sector. However, my Department does not collect information on the number of meters that have been installed under either the Rural Water Programme or the non-domestic metering programme.

Information on the numbers of meters installed under both programmes should be available from individual local authorities.
