Get rid of your water meter, says TD

Water charges are going to be reintroduced by the “back door” along with mandatory metering, according to Right2Water TDs who oppose recommendations on the future funding of services.

Solidarity TD Paul Murphy called on households to “get rid” of their water meters last night, after he and other anti-water TDs failed to stop proposals for fresh charges.

The Oireachtas Committee on Water finally voted on and concluded its deliberations on the future funding of water services, agreeing to an excessive charge and a new allowance for users.
