Question:
To ask the Minister for Regional Development which categories of non-domestic customers will be exempt from increases to water charges from April 2015; and to detail the criteria for exemption.

Answer:

The 2015/16 tariffs for water and sewerage services apply to all non-domestic customers. There are no exemptions for different categories of non-domestic customers.

The setting of limits by which charges are allowed to increase (which were agreed as part of Price Control process) and approval of the annual charges are matters for the Regulator.
