Abstract
Description
Irish Water is a fully publicly owned, regulated,
commercial State body with responsibility for the
operation and maintenance of water and wastewater
assets. It was established to provide safe, clean,
affordable and environmentally compliant water and
wastewater services to households and businesses
connected to the public networks. This involves
treating 1.7 billion litres of drinking water and 1.2
billion litres of wastewater each day.
The funding model for Irish Water is set in context of
the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). The WFD is
the overarching Directive in relation to water policy in
the EU. The Water Services Policy Statement (WSPS)
provides the framework within which Irish Water
funding and investment plans will be agreed. The
first Water Services Policy Statement 2018 – 2025 was
published in May 2018.
Under the Water Services Act 2017, Irish Water is
required to submit a Strategic Funding Plan (SFP) to
the Minister within three months of the publication
of the Water Services Policy Statement. This Strategic
Funding Plan (2019 – 2024) reflects the principles,
themes and policy objectives identified in the Water
Services Policy Statement and the strategic objectives
outlined in the Water Services Strategic Plan. It
outlines the costs, both operational and capital,
associated with the arrangements that Irish Water
proposes to make and measures that it intends to
take to implement the objectives of the Water Services
Strategic Plan (WSSP).
