Galway Bay fm newsroom - Latest figures show the average daily water consumption by Galway households is around 409 cubic litres
That's according to the latest statistics from the CSO.
The CSO figures show that during 2015, Cavan had the lowest annual average consumption at 313 cubic litres, compared with Kerry and Tipperary which had the highest at 430 cubic litres.
Just over 2,000 homes are responsible for using nearly an eighth of the country's total municipal water supply.
The number of domestic water meters nationwide in January 2015 was almost 520 thousand and this increased to almost 765 thousand by December 2015.
The figures also suggest that very few homes would be liable for charges under the new regime proposed by an Oireachtas committee.
