Domestic Metered Public Water Consumption
Domestic water consumption data is collected as meter readings and administered by Irish Water. The purpose of the Domestic Metered Public Water Consumption release is to analyse on an annual basis the water consumption of domestic dwellings connected to the public water supply system.
The domestic meter readings data are obtained by the CSO from Irish Water under Section 30 of the Statistics Act 1993.
Our results are only ever made available to the public in aggregate form, and we make sure that it is impossible for individuals or businesses to be identified. Anonymised survey information may be provided to other government departments, approved organisations, and approved researchers for statistical purposes only.
Yes. All information supplied to the CSO is treated as strictly confidential. The Statistics Act 1993 sets stringent confidentiality standards: information collected may be used only for statistical purposes and no details that might be related to an identifiable person or business undertaking may be divulged to any other government department or body. The data will be retained as we need a long time series to understand trends in environment statistics.
