Tens of thousands to get wrong water bills

Approximately 100,000 households are expected to receive incorrect Irish Water bills.

According to the Irish Independent, many customers will not benefit from savings if they have consumed less water than the capped fee, because the State utility has been unable to match meters to dwellings.

For a family the fee stands at €65 while it is €40 for a single person.

The newspaper also reports the delay in introducing charges has cost the taxpayer €68m.
