WATER charges for many Irish businesses are set to increase from today.
A change to the charging system will see an increase for more than half of businesses.
The other customers will see their amounts fall due to the changes.
The new system was originally planned to roll out in May 2020 but was delayed following the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The non-domestic tariff framework will impact just over 164,000 businesses, farms, charities, public bodies, social enterprises and other non-domestic customers.
“The new tariff framework announced by our economic regulator, the Commission for Regulation of Utilities goes live on the 1st of October and will provide certainty for businesses and their representative groups,” said Irish Water’s Head of Customer Operations, Yvonne Harris.
“Irish Water understands the continued challenges faced by businesses; our aim is to ensure that every business across the country is provided with a clear, transparent, equitable charging regime regardless of location.”
