Energy Regulator proposes water charge of .49 per litre

Water from your tap is going to cost you just under half a cent a litre – meaning you’ll pay around 24 cents for a quick shower.
The Commission for Energy Regulation has published its proposed water charges – which will be around 176 euro for a household with one adult – rising by 102 euro per extra adult – where the house gets water in and water out.
Metered rates are 4 euro 88 cents per thousand litres for water and wastewater services.
Households with septic tanks that don’t need wastewater services will pay half – or 2.44 per 1000 litres.
Where water is unfit for human consumption – affected customers will still have to pay – but they’ll get a 50 percent reduction during the disruption to their service – and a 100% reduction if the disruption lasts more than 3 months.
Customers with specific medical conditions that need extra water will have their charges capped.
