It has been a very entertaining argument.

Someday soon we'll all have water meters and pay by usage. That will sort out the "leave it running" brigade. Some people think clean running water is free - a total misconception.

No argument im right end off lol

Farmers have had this for years.
Fair enough you'll say it's a business which it is. But a farm could have more then more then one meter and they pay for each one

It's only a matter of time before water charges for all are introduced

Im well aware that will happen but the councils will have to make sure that

all stop cocks are buried under the 1ft plus legislation like they should be unlike mine

at about 5ins under the path, that will cost a few bob!

I say if you want water tomorrow, let it off, about 100L per hour is what I'm using, not wasting.
If I were to water me garden I'd nearly use that much, or powerwash the garage or the likes. Tis just a bit cold and too soon after the Holidaze to be doing that.
It was off here Xmas day and I had to do the washing up, so that has persuaded me to leave it on. That and having running water just for the sake of it like.
It certainly works anyway, don't believe the naysayers.
My connection partially runs overground would you believe (1st on todo list after this passes) and leaving it running at around that rate keeps her movin.
My pressure is fine, plenty of water round me.
Tis them up in the Easht that's worried bout conservation, pah!
I say if you got it, use it. Tis bad enough having to live miserably through freezing weather without having to not have running water, so uncivilised.
Remarked to me bro how twas like the old days at Xmas, except with a good broadband connection, though couldn't find any water to download:)

I understand just fine thanks, probably better than most actually. Just happens that there's no problem with supply where I am at the mo.
I live in a rural area and like the luxury of having running water.
If you met me, or knew me, you'd probably be quite shocked that I was taking such measures, but fcuk it, I'm going to consider the welfare of my family before I think of the welfare of the whole country, that seems to be pretty much what everyone else does anyway.
It won't help the residents of Athy or Finglas if I turn off me taps, but it will allow me to flush the jax, have a shower and wash the bleedin dishes in comfort.

Off to run across a frozen lake now with my two young kids...........:p:p

there has been worse panics .
What if the weather did not turn early like it is doing ?

The advise at the time was correct.;)

Being ignorant to your surroundings, conditions and advise is downright stupid . No offense loike.

The water was turned off last night in south dublin, by "experts" to prepare for the worst. Maybe not your area . But for 10s of 1000s it was.

The ridiculous thing would be to have done the exact opposite of the real advise given . Hence your posts... ( run your taps all day and night)


Its not over yet. These tempratures now are still not really high enough to unfreeze pipes ... Much of which will be damaged by frost.

There Their is a whole lot of peeps still without water..

I've been running my tap at a tiny trickle, about a litre every half hour. There is no necessity to leave the thing gushing.

It's enough, and I make no apology for it, and my neighbours have been happy to take advantage of my forward thinking all week, because they on and off had no water of their own.

The reason there's a shortage is because in addition to the pre-existing water leaks, pipes have been popping left right and centre. More to come when the ground thaws and shifts.

That's the reality.
