If I do NOT wish to claim Water Allowances...why does a water utility need my PPS numbers?
It's per person... 2+2 gets more of an allowance than 1+2.
Its 30,000 litres allowance per household with and additional 21,000 litres per child.
Surely that would translate to a minimum €160 charge of for all homes.(It is proposed that there will be minimum charge of €160 a year for vacant homes).
That's a bit Irish alright . . an empty house using no water will pay €160 but other can get a zero bill of staying within their quota. I'll be interested if I can get a zero bill so.Why ? It will be possible for a single person with a water meter to have zero water charges if they use less that 30000l a year. The minimum charge will apply just to non principal residences (it is proposed)
When Irish Water is privatised, will the new owners then get my PPS number?

So NPPR by the back door?
There will be no standing charge in respect of principal residences, but a minimum charge may apply to second homes. Irish Water has proposed a minimum charge of €80 per service per year for second homes – a total of €160 for a house using both public water supply and public wastewater services. This was among the proposals that the CER consulted on during August 2014.
From supply and sewage? There will probably be a disconnection and reconnection fee which will be more tham the annual charge.
