Irish Water has been given the go ahead to start charging customers who are wasting water. “It’s about water conservation,” Irish Water said. Households with more than four occupants can apply to Irish Water for a higher household allowance. If a customer continues to use more than the allowance, Irish Water will then issue an official note of apparent excess use. Irish Water cannot reduce or discontinue the supply of water to a person for the non-payment of the excess charge either temporarily or permanently.
