    My water bill is unknown as we pay for our water through VAT and car tax. Now the well heeled in power want us to pay again on top of what we already pay...So..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-gc...ature=youtu.be

      We also pay for it generally through Universal Social Charge,and the Local Property Tax,which was supposed to deal with matters like this !

      Don't forget also the Irish brokered an exemption a few years through the River Basin Plan with Europe,that meant we didn't have to pay for domestic water rates.It's up for renewal,and the fcuking numpty that runs the Dept. of Environment,Alan Kelly is not going to renew it !!!! Talk about batting for the other side !!!

      Anybody got any jobs going in the UK ? Can't be as fcuking bad as this bilge !

        Can't see why we need private water co as we all need it, and unlike gas/electric you can't change supplier .

        apart from one night by accident, my kitchen tap has NOT been turned off since this thread started.

        ofwat has told water co price needs to drop

          I moved to a new hoose a month ago. sadly it has a water meter.. i tried to chance the name on the account but couldn't. i argued to them saying why and they say you must supply a meter reading.. i couldnt find it.. then it turns out the meter is in the lawn under a tree.. i gave them the reading and they didnt believe me ..

          funnily enough i have a dell running directly behind my property.. when i moved here i saw 2 deer drinking from it.. and it got me thinking.. maybe i could pump some water from there.. if its good enough for them its good enough for me.. i know where the water is coming from the moor about 1/2 mile away so it should be safe..!

            Kalipo if you have access to meter, I shit out recently, was going to wrench one out the ground, but 3mm washer NO MORE. 1/2 meter , Or can you dig tree up and download 'pipe freezing kit'. Put in bypass, but not full, you just moved in and know nothing

                    They did, but the reading they took wasn't what was displayed on the meter.

                    In the end I told them to take my reading and shove it.. waiting for meter reader to check my reading.

                        Different reading now to one taken by previous owner suggests either they were reducing their final bill or there is a leak between meter and house.

                          We got our first bill.. in the month of november we used 9m3 of water which equates to ?9.. we then had to pay for waste etc and the first bill came too ?28.

                          I was always under the assumption that you roughly pay the same rate for waste going out to water coming in??

                          Either way, we used to pay ?39 a month..

                              No, because it is in the garden.. in a hole at the top end of the garden closest to the road.. there is no footpaths around here.. so the grid is next to the tarmac.. too many people know what im doing..

                                Still don't know about water but natural gas is 900 cubic meter in 1 year
                                that's 1260 euro --> 988?
