(1)of the Water Services Act 2007 (as inserted by Section 9 of the Water Services Act 2017 ) below which Irish Water shall provide water services without charge to a domestic customer. The threshold and allowance amounts are set with reference to the Review of Demand for Water Services furnished to the Minister by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities under Section 53A of the Water Services Act 2007 (as inserted by Section 8 of the Water Services Act 2017 ). A dwelling with water usage above the ‘threshold amount’ — now specified as 213,000 litres per year — may be regarded as one with excessive water usage, unless such usage is otherwise permitted under the Water Services Acts 2007 to 2017. Dwellings having more than 4 residents are given an additional ‘allowance amount’ of 25,000 litres per year, above the threshold amount, for every person beyond 4 persons ordinarily resident in the dwelling.
