If someone tells you something is unconstitutional ask them what article it breaches.Do you use these pipes? No. Ok we'll cut them off so.

Meanwhile, the Dail Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is making plans to examine the utility, despite receiving legal advice that such a move would be outside its remit.

They have put in place the "first fix" solution so if there is an issue under your driveway, then they'll fix it for free.They are pricing themselves out of the market with that price so they can concentrate on the more urgent (and more easily accessible) stuff in the wider system. A leak on your own property is your own responsibility. It doesn't happen very often as far as I can tell. I mean, when was the last time you heard of someone with a leak outside of their house? Properly installed pipes shouldn't be affected by frost for instance and most of the frozen pipes issues in the bad winters we had in recent years were in the house (inside the back wall in my own case).

papu wrote: » The cloudiness or milkyness is caused by trapped air. Cold water holds more air than warm water.As the water goes through the cold pipes it is cooled and then comes out to room temp. Some of the air that is present is no longer soluble, and comes out of solution. Also if the water is being held under pressure this can also Increase the solubility of air. Once the water comes out of your tap, the water is no longer under pressure and the air comes out of solution as bubbles . The best thing to do is let it sit in an open container until the bubbles naturally disappear. Calcium can also cause cloudiness , When a glassful of the cloudy water sits for about thirty minutes, a white or grayish substance settles out to the bottom of the glass this is the calcium . Perfectly safe and good for you.
