The Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services published its report in April and this was approved by both Houses of the Oireachtas. The Committee recommended that the Commission for Energy Regulation should determine average consumption levels of water usage, setting the threshold level at 1.7 times the average household use. Further detail will be set out in the legislation which will give effect to the recommendations of the Committee and which will be published shortly.
