Sir, – I recently arrived home to find my water brown and black with sediment.
A call to Dublin City Council led to the explanation that there had been a major problem at Marrowbone Lane and water supplies were being redirected throughout many parts of the city. The advice was to leave the water running until it ran clear. All well and good until you remember that shortly the water supply will be privatised (in all but name) and we shall be metered. Then, if we are advised to leave taps running, we will be the ones to pay for system failures.
Is this yet another example of a lack of joined-up-thinking from our current incompetent Coalition? – Yours, etc,
IAN KAVANAGH,
