Mr. Roche Mr. Roche

  Mr. Roche: The Government’s national water services pricing policy framework requires local authorities to recover the cost of providing water services from the users of these services, with the exception of households using the services for domestic purposes. There is no intention to reintroduce domestic water charges through the Water Services Bill or on any other basis.
