    Should I accept it or be really really p1ssed off with how this country is run???

    You should accept it really. My own water only came back this morning due to an underground frozen pipe. It was a different story a few weeks ago when the whole of the northside of Cork city was without water. This time it is more isolated, like one my next door neighbours still had running water to keep us supplied. I don't see how it has anything to do with how the country is run really. You have to travel a whole mile for water. What do you want? For them to be at your doorstep..

    We were without it from Friday til Monday evening.Went out nearly every day to try to unfreeze the exposed pipe outside, and play around with the stopcock on the road. It didn't work, nearly smashed someones head in, sick of constantly boiling water for cups etc. It was like living in the 1930s (I was not born then;)).We really take water for granted.

    well you know what the say

    You never miss the water till the well runs dry :p




  • This happens at my parents' house at least once a year, for 4-5 days at a time. Makes you realise how much water we use. This time around we got through about 50 bottles of water in a day. Not fun.

    I cant understand that now with the snow and ice gone and the thaw more or less completed I am in my 4th day without water,,, It is getting to be a humanitarian issue here in my house were we can no longer flush toilets or wash ourselves and only in the last few hours the council has is providing access to a "water station" that is over a mile away,,, grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

    Trent would kill all of us for just the cup...

    ...and then he'd smash it like a mouse's spine

    Mother nature would be too afraid to freeze Trent's water also. Natural disasters dont affect him.

    This couldnt be funnier, the whole of Dublin decides that they'll leave the taps running to stop pipes freezing and then they moan when demand is outstripping supply. Do you think there is enough drinking water in reserve for you to waste for days on end without issues? They then proceed to blame the government because they all are inconsiderate towards the consequences of their own actions.

    I'm from Dublin and I didn;t leave my tap running.

    But I did have my 20ft fountain blasting all night and my artificial waterfall pumping the stuff :rolleyes:

    Our neighbours have been without water since the 22nd December!! So accept that you have no water for a few days!Thats life!

    And before ppl ask why we didnt give them some, we did fill the tank for them so at least they can flush etc..
