The National Metering programme is the most ambitious nationwide metering programme of its type ever undertaken, with water meters being installed in all regions across the country at a rate of some 31,000 per month, with an overall target of 1.1 million dwellings to have meters installed by end 2016. Irish Water’s meter installation rate is three times that of comparable programmes in the UK. The installation rates are reported by regional contractor for their region, rather than by county. The number of meters installed per region to 18 January 2015 is set out in the table below.
