Water conservation
Conserving water in your business will not only help protect your local supply, it will also protect the environment, boost your reputation and reduce your water bills. In this section, you will find useful advice to help reduce the amount of water you use in your business and in your home.
Water Stewardship Training Programme
Irish Water have partnered with the Lean & Green Skillnet and Central Solutions to develop an innovative water stewardship and conservation pilot training programme in Spring 2019. The programme aims to support Irish businesses as they seek to improve their water stewardship practices and impacts.
Your business charges
The Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) held public consultations on Irish Water's proposed framework for future business charges which will harmonise charges nationwide. The first consultation period is now closed, however, the new charges are not expected to be introduced until late 2019.
