    You are correct. I have edited my post and took out my incorrect assumptions.
    added couple of interesting links and a quote of the quality/price topic.

    I agree. If the water quality is so poor that I have to buy bottled water because what comes out of the tap is undrinkable, then why can't I offset the cost of what I spend on bottled water against my water charges?

    In D15 you can't drink water from your tap?

    I'm sure it's perfectly safe to drink, but I choose not to because it's pretty unpalatable. It's certainly nothing like as nice to drink as the water in other parts of Dublin.

    I have to agree, we buy bottled water (albeit the cheap stuff) for that very reason, funnily enough though its grand in tea or coffee, I actually prefer it to the water here in the city centre where I work.

    I find it fine to drink, although we have a britta filter anyway which we use. I've lived in areas where the water came from the mountains and it was great, but I've also lived in areas where it's mank. I don't think our water is bad though.

    It tastes horrible. I remember the first time I cooked pasta in it. The pasta took on the flavour of the water. I was living in a different county at the time and visiting D15 for the weekend and I couldn't believe the difference. Bottled water isn't too expensive, but it's not an expense people should have if they're paying for their tap water too.
