Saincheist eile a aithníodh is ea an easpa feasachta i gcoitinne i dtaobh sceitheadh uisce, rud a tharlaíonn nuair nach leor an méid a infheistítear i gcothabháil agus in athnuachan an bhonneagair uisce, mar a luadh freisin i dTuarascáil Speisialta Uimh. 12/2017 ó Chúirt Iniúchóirí na hEorpa an 5 Iúil 2017 dar teideal “Implementing the Drinking Water Directive: water quality and access to it improved in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania, but investment needs remain substantial” [An Treoir maidir le hUisce Óil a chur chun feidhme: cáilíocht uisce agus rochtain air feabhsaithe sa Bhulgáir, san Ungáir agus sa Rómáin, ach infheistíocht shuntasach fós ag teastáil].
A final issue identified is the general lack of awareness of water leakages, which are driven by underinvestment in maintenance and renewal of water infrastructure, as also pointed out in the European Court of Auditors’ Special Report No 12/2017 of 5 July 2017 ‘Implementing the Drinking Water Directive: water quality and access to it improved in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania, but investment needs remain substantial’.
