Hate baths, much prefer a shower

We've had our meter installed. Being the decent people my neighbors and I are, we didn't assault them or shout abuse at them FOR DOING THEIR JOBS, but rather offered them refreshments.

And they didn't need a Garda escort.

Hah.

You're paying 1c for 5 litres of water. It's not going to cost you that much.

I haven't even received my pack yet to return!

Will you be putting "No Contract, No Consent" or some other such nonsense on it before you send it back?

Thats what they want you to think.

My uncle's friend heard from a guy in the local who works for Irish Water that a bath will cost you 80 euros.

Quite alot actually. An average family is looking at around €300 per year for everything at least. It's 4c a piss ffs.

Measure out 5l of water and put in in your bath and see what it looks like. Wouldn't cover your baby toe.

Where is this online evidence of compliance?

A few posts back, where I posted my findings, eh online.
If you want I can whip it up into a graph with nice colours and shapes for you.

Hah.

There have been very few incidents overall.

And little resistance on the streets,except for isolated incidents.

Stop exaggerating.

Maths my dear, 90% is not 100%

Nor is saying a poll shows only 10% of people will pay for water when 20% give the answer "don't know".

The journal poll is from January this year so hardly relevant now. My poll was from yesterday and today so very relevant.

Everything and anything adds up once it's used a lot.

It's like saying a grain of rice is ONLY .001 cent, that's fine but you need thousands of grains to make up enough to feed a family, multiply that over the course of a year and you're talking about 'real' money then my friend, NOT "only a few cent".

That's OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

:mad:

€80 for a bath!? Did we lose a war?!

mickydoomsux

I'm also getting rid of all of my appliances, my central heating, car and anything else that uses a resource that I have to pay for because I am a thrifty genius

Let's just all not bath. Dry shampoo and a quick rub over with a cloth and a bucket of rain water FTW.

Capped at €2.44 per thousand litres. Works out at 5 litres per 1.22c

With the new water charges, is there any point in keeping the bath in the house? You would need a small mortgage to run it on a regular basis, is it time to move it along and replace with a shower?
Would people buy a house without one?

Power showers will cost you a lot more than a bath! Think about it! You're loosing a lot more water with each second you have a shower so you're probaby better to stick with the bath.

We all just need to learn to be a lot more careful when using water from here on in.

Anyone else sick to the back teeth of frigging water charges being dragged up at every opportunity?

I wash mahself with a rag on a stick!

I am turning my bathroom into a bedroom.I already have a downstairs toilet and a en suite with shower so why do I need 3 rooms to poo in.Some one said it will devalue the house?Sure I can do a Steptoe and wash in the sink if need be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YiXsuyYa4c

We made a family rule the other day to only flush after 3 visits to the toilet to save cash.
