Water Services Bill 2013

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Water Services Bill 2013 would establish Irish Water (Uisce Éireann), owned by the State through Bord Gáis Éireann, to install household water meters, collect customer information and eventually bill households for water use. It would also prepare for independent regulation of water services and give the company powers needed to carry out metering, including installing pipes and, where necessary, interrupting supplies.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to make provision in relation to the installation and maintenance of water meters in dwellings; for that purpose to provide for the formation of a subsidiary company by Bord Gáis Éireann and the performance of certain functions under the Water Services Act 2007 by Bord Gáis Éireann and that subsidiary company; to amend the Gas Act 1976 and the Water Services Act 2007; to provide for the collection of certain information by Bord Gáis Éireann and that subsidiary company; and to provide for matters connected therewith
