The Programme for Government provides for the introduction of a fair funding model to deliver clean and reliable water. The objective is to install water meters in households and move to a charging system based on usage above a free allowance. My Department is currently preparing a strategy to implement these proposals, including the approach to be taken for the procurement of water meters. Further details will be made available when the Government has considered the proposals.
