Pubs will pay for water as part of city metering plan

LIMERICK publicans will have to pay for supplies of tap water from next September.

Licensed premises will be among about 2,500 commercial premises in the city which will be metered for their water supplies in a conservation drive by Limerick City Council.

A private company, Laing O’Rourke has won the €3.2 million contract to install water meters in business premises throughout the city, and this programme will be completed by September.
