Scope of the Review

On 10 May 2007 the Northern Ireland announced a comprehensive review of existing arrangements for the delivery of water and sewerage services. The aims of the review are to:

  • Carry out an independent and comprehensive review of the costs and level of funding needed for water and sewerage services in Northern Ireland, to review how these costs should be met and how the service should be managed and governed within a public ownership model.
  • To help ensure that there is public trust and confidence in the future arrangements for financing and delivering water and sewerage service.

This review is being led by an independent panel and will have two strands. The first strand focuses on the fundamental issues of financing these essential services while the second will concentrate on the wider aspects of the management and governance arrangements for water and sewerage services.

The Independent Water Review Panel (IWRP) would welcome views, comments, evidence and analysis form all interested parties. Submissions should be made to the Panel using the contact details in this website.
