Irish Water: Colour of hall door needed to get right water bill

Customers of Irish Water are being asked to tell the utility the colour of their front door and provide details of their neighbours’ property in a bid to get the right bills to the right people.

Irish Water has admitted it is seeking help in matching some of its water meters to the right house on their datatbase due to the high number of properties here with similar addresses.

The company said that it is working to match some 50,000 meters to the right home after it emerged that a customer was asked to identify the colour of her front door and gate in an attempt to help Irish Water establish which meter was linked to her house.
