    My question relates to the increasingly common practice of houses that are being refurbished doing away with the cold tanks and immersion cylinders and connecting everything, including gas combi boilers to the rising main.
    So does IW jurisdiction end at the meter and does it care what happens down stream of the meter?

    “I can’t pay my staff or mortgage with instagram likes”.

    Irish Water is responsible for the public water and wastewater network. Please see this link. Pipework and systems used on private property would fall outside of our remit.

    We would recommend that homeowners always abide by planning regulations and hire qualified contractors if conducting any works.

    Thanks,
