Children’s water allowance likely to be reduced

A range of domestic water charges for homeowners coming into effect in a little over eight weeks’ time will be announced tomorrow by the energy regulator.

However, the proposed free water allowance for children of 38,000 litres per child may be revised downwards after suggestions from Irish Water.

The average cost per household, estimated costs for non-metered homes and waivers for people with medical conditions, will be among the plans announced tomorrow.
