NI Water Non-Financial Performance Metrics 2019-2020

Northern Ireland Water's non-financial performance data for water service activities, reported for the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years. This dataset is part of the Annual Information Return (AIR) and covers operational metrics for the government-owned utility. It is published under the UK Open Government Licence and is available in ODS format.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking utility performance against regulatory targets based on reported non-financial measures.
• Analyzing trends in water service delivery and operational efficiency for the 2019-2020 period.
• Informing public policy on water infrastructure and resource management in Northern Ireland.

Strengths

• Data originates from the official government source (Government Digital Service), ensuring authoritative provenance.
• Covers a specific two-year period (2019-2020), providing a clear temporal snapshot.
• Published under a permissive open license (OGL-UK-3.0), facilitating reuse and analysis.

Limitations

• Column names and a detailed data dictionary are not provided, limiting understanding of specific metrics.
• The dataset size and row count are unknown across all sources, obscuring its scale.
• Metadata shows a future 'last updated' date (2026-07-08), which is inconsistent and suggests potential data entry errors.
