Commercial Water Charges
In line with the Water Services Pricing Policy of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government all non-domestic consumers of water are to be charged by Local Authorities for water and waste water services.
This is in accordance with EU requirements and the “Polluter Pays Policy”. There are no exceptions to this policy.
The policy will ensure that non domestic consumers will enjoy the benefit of a fair and equitable charging system, in that they will only pay for water that they use.
The charge will only relate to the non-domestic sector and it is also expected that the metering project will encourage water conservation and so reduce the cost of water provision.
In order to comply with the above legislation Veolia Water Consortium has been appointed as a Private Service Provider for the Galway City Non Domestic Water Metering Project.

Why do I Pay Water Charges
Under the Government’s Water Pricing Policy Framework, all non-domestic consumers of water are to be charged by Local Authorities for the supply of water and the discharge of waste water.
With water metering non domestic consumers will enjoy the benefit of a fair and equitable charging system, in that they will only pay for water that they use.
How are Water Charges Calculated
Where practicable Veolia Water Consortium shall install a water meter which will record water usage.
Metered charge bills will be issued every quarter for the first two years of the project.
Metered Water Charges Bills
Metered water charges bills are made up of a charge for the rental of the meter (based on meter size) and the volume supplied (based on cubic metre used).
