NI Public Invited To Shape Water & Sewerage Guidance

Northern Ireland residents have been urged to make their voices heard on the draft Social and Environmental Guidance for Water and Sewerage Services (2021-27).

This draft Guidance will influence future water and sewerage investment decisions, helping to inform how water and sewerage services are provided in Northern Ireland from 2021 to 2027. It sets out the key social and environmental priorities that the Department for Infrastructure will expect the Utility Regulator to have regard to when carrying out its role of regulating NI Water during this period.


This includes what NI Water needs to do to meet its environmental obligations, continue to make improvements in service delivery and work to operate sustainably, taking account of climate change.

Consultation has opened on the draft guidance and closes on Friday 20 December 2019.

The full guidance can be found here.
