You can thank Irish Water for this increase, as restaurants owners will now be paying higher rates.
An industry insider has said: “We have been told by Irish Water to expect increases.
“There are more than 50 different charges in different locations, so one county might have a higher charge than another.”
This will have an impact on the consumer, with Adrian Cummins of The Restaurants Association of Ireland stating:
“Some restaurants will charge for tap water if commercial water charges increase.
“I would say over 50% will implement the practice.
“Some charge €1 for a large jug or bottle of [tap] water, which is unlimited during the course of the meal.”
We can imagine a lot of death stares happening now come billing time.
