The head of the body representing county and city councillors has said that the board of Irish Water has lost the public's confidence.
President of the Association of Irish Local Government Padraig McNally said that under the stewardship of John Tierney, there seems to be one mistake after another.
He said while he is not arguing about the principle of the utility, he believes that local authorities were doing a good job and could have done a better job if they had the financial resources as proposed for Irish Water.
Speaking on RTÉ's News at One, Mr Nally said that under local authorities, there was a disparity in water provision because there were inconsistencies in finances.
"I certainly would be of the belief that in many cases the local authorities were doing a reasonably good job and the reason they weren't doing a better job was because of the lack of funding".
Meanwhile, Minister for Health Leo Varadker told reporters the Government must communicate the good policy reasons involved.
He said treated water is not free, it needs to be kept in reservoirs, and piped into homes and businesses and like electricity or gas it has to be paid for.
He said the fairest way of paying is through metering which will encourage people to conserve water.
Mr Varadkar said the Government has a big job to communicate better as to why metering and charges make sense.
