The minister says the government will decide on major changes to the charges system in the next week or so.
He says the charges will be "modest" and that customers will then have certainty about the bills they should expect for years to come.
Meanwhile the C-E-O of Irish Water, John Tierney, has apologised for how the rollout of water charges have been handled.
He says he and Irish Water recognise the huge numbers who showed up at protests last week – and they're determined to get the system working properly.
