    Irish Water, Please take this as first warning:
    I'M NOT HAPPY paying the full (capped) fee, because YOU didn't install water meter in my house.
    This is YOUR fault, for which I'M paying.
    We are 2 people living in a small semi-detached house in a standard estate and we pay the same as big families living in a huge haciendas.

    THIS ABSOLUTELY not fare. I need an explanation WHY there is no meters installed in such estates.
    This is a big scam- again the law is protecting the wealthy and overcharging the middle class, forcing them to pay the lawmakers' bills.

    Hi dimo,

    Thanks for contacting our page.

    Irish Water rolled out a national metering programme with the aim to meter as many homes as possible by 2016.

    There are numerous reasons why a meter may not be installed at your property. Your property may be on a shared connection, your outside stop valve may not be located on public property or be easily accessible for our contractors to work on. If it's not possible to install a meter at your property at this time, the situation will be re-assessed at a later date.

    It may also be a case that your property has not be scheduled to receive a water meter as of yet. Once your property is deemed suitable for metering, you will receive notification from Irish Water beforehand to make you aware of scheduled works.

    We hope this helps.

    Kind regards,
    Amy.

    Sorry, what you say is that until you install the meter, I must pay the maximum fee, nevertheless I'm consuming very limited amount of water?

    I agree that there must be water charges, nothing is for free and I don't like somebody to pay my bills, but also I don't like to be unfair charged and to pay for somebody's bonus.

    THIS is something what I strongly disagree and will consider joining the protesting community.
