Irish Water's Plans To Charge Households Who Waste Water Have Been Put On Hold
It will now come into effect in 2022 at the earliest
The charge was due to come into effect next year, four years after the original legislation was passed allowing it.
However, questions have been asked over the utility's ability to fairly charge customers, given the number of leaks in the system and number of homes which still aren't metered.
Irish Water says it instead plans to write to those identified as over users and advise them on ways to reduce their consumption.
