Water Metering
The Government's National Water Pricing Policy Framework requires the charging of non-domestic customers of water services. In order to implement the national water services pricing policy, local authorities are required to achieve universal metering of the water supplied to the non-domestic sector. This is in accordance with national and EU policy on the application of the "polluter pays" principle, including the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC).
Water Charges for non- domestic customers :
Metered Charges:-
Supply of water only: €1.16 per cubic metre
Discharge of waste water: €1.24 per cubic metre
Standing Charge of €150.00 per annum per customer shall apply in respect of all metered non-domestic customer accounts.
A charge of €75.00 shall be applied for each additional meter per annum per customer.
