Document background
A Water Supply Agreement is a crucial document used to establish and regulate the commercial relationship between Irish Water (Uisce Eireann) and entities requiring water services in Ireland. This agreement is essential for businesses, industrial facilities, and other organizations that need a reliable water supply for their operations. The document addresses key aspects such as water quality standards (in accordance with EU Drinking Water Regulations), supply volumes, pressure requirements, metering arrangements, and pricing structures. It incorporates provisions to ensure compliance with the Water Services Acts and other relevant Irish legislation, while also addressing practical operational matters such as maintenance responsibilities, emergency procedures, and service interruption protocols. The agreement is particularly important for operations requiring specific water quality standards or significant water volumes, and includes mechanisms for monitoring, reporting, and dispute resolution.
