Standard Charge To Be Applied To Those Who Miss Irish Water Deadline
Those who do not register with Irish Water before the deadline passes at midnight tonight will be charged at the rate of a two-adult household - £260.
Irish Water said that while no penalties would be imposed on those who miss the deadline, they could face higher charges. They added that they will also be ineligible for the Department of Social Protection €100 Water Conservation Grant.
Speaking to RTÉ's Sean O'Rourke, the company's spokesperson, Elizabeth Arnett, said: "We will make an assumption that you are on a standard charge, in other words that you have more than two adults in the household and that you have both water and waste water services, and in that respect your bill would be €260.
"You may need to have a lower charge than that, we can't determine that unless you've contacted us and similarly in terms of the €100 conservation grant unless your details have been confirmed with us you won't be able to apply to the Department of Social Protection for that grant."
