The Water Services Act 2007 is a key piece of legislation that governs the provision and regulation of water services in Ireland. The Act aims to ensure the efficient and sustainable management of water resources, promote water conservation, and protect public health and the environment.
The Act sets out the roles and responsibilities of various bodies involved in the management of water services, including the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Irish Water. Compliance with the Act is essential for businesses involved in water services to ensure the efficient and sustainable management of water resources and to protect public health and the environment.
