163. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government further to Parliamentary Question No. 268 of 24 January 2017, the annual cost to the Exchequer if the existing subsidy to domestic group and private water users covered the full operating costs of providing water for domestic use; and the number of domestic group and water users who currently benefit from the subsidy [7750/17]

I refer to the reply to Question Number 268 of 24 January 2017.

The following table sets out the number of group water schemes, and their associated number of domestic connections, benefitting from subsidy payments in 2014 - 2015. Final figures for the number of group water schemes, and their associated number of domestic connections, benefitting from subsidy payments in 2016 will not be available until mid 2017 (as scheme details are verified in the first half of the following year).

Year No. of Group Water Schemes No. of Domestic Connections
2014 732 93,743
2015 700 95,067
