Anxiety due to water charges...... Anyway you get the message. I think the larger sometimes less well off families are the ones that will suffer most.And I really do think that 'occupancy' of house-hold should be a MAJOR factor when calculating bills.

It's treated no different to electricity usage. You use it as you need it and are sensible about not wasting it. Purchase water efficient washing machine and dish washer, use the quick flush button when you take a piss, don't leave water running for no reason, don't stand under the shower daydreaming for 10 mins, and so on

It smells bad and is undrinkable and I live near Drogheda. If you want to be fleeced and out of pocket citizens then more fool you. By the way cancer has increased exponentially since Fluoride was introduced to tap water here.

The problem with most people in this country is that they just take the hit and accept it instead of using some initiative and sticking up for themselves. I am talking generally and not having a go at you. I am a normal person however though when one isn't given a vote and a choice and you are forced against your will to pay for water which is in abundance in Ireland then one knows something is wrong with the way this country is being run. The leaks in old pipes and implementation of fluoride are the problems. The normal people are the ones who are protesting about water meters and impending water charges. Do you think that it is right in your opinion for the public to be screwed until the pips squeak to pay all of these extra taxes including bank charges?
