Community/voluntary swimming pools would be classified as non-domestic customers. The existing arrangements for all non-domestic customers are remaining in place with no changes for the time being. On this basis, any arrangement charitable or voluntary groups have with their local authorities will remain, and the local authorities will continue to bill for non-domestic water services as agents of Irish Water. The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) will be reviewing all aspects of non-domestic water tariffs under a series of public consultations. The CER is expected to commence this process in 2015.
