I don't pay for my water - boreholes and septic tanks rule

It's a human right to have access to water / sanitation under some UN charter. If you don't pay they can't cut you off I believe. I pay mine :rolleyes:

I applied for a job with a water company and they sent me a big info pack about what they do. I was actually surprised at how much goes into bringing clean water into the home.

As title if so why do you and why do we even have to? Also do you remember when we didn't have to?

What is this Madness :confused:

Yes I pay for my water & I am happy to pay for it as well, Only a retard would complain about the pittance we pay for fresh drinking water delivered to our houses when others around the planet cannot get fresh drinking water let alone get it piped to there sink.
OP makes me mad. :mad:

Having toured a water treatment plant on a school trip and seeing just a fraction of the work that goes into it all (some areas were off-limits due to the hazardous nature) I don't mind paying for it.

Do you think it's free to clean the water?

Can this be moved to GD and not spoil the home and garden bit... Guy obviously gets his water from under the bridge as all Trolls do !

I just use bottled water, much cheaper

I work in Industrial Control and Automation and am currently based on site at a large Water Treatment Works upgrading their control systems so know about the process and systems/equipment required.

You would be surprised at how complex the treatment process is and the money involved - just the bill for the chemicals required to properly treat the water each month would be absolutely huge - let alone the specialist machinery, valves, pumps, etc and the maintenance required.

Such an appropriate OP username...

Don't think of it as paying for the water, think of it as paying for the pipes to your home to be maintained. Happy now?

...and more importantly, the pipes away from your household!
poobrian living in a poohouse if they stop that service.
