The price of water

Sir, – I recently made an online request for my Irish Water account number. I received a politely worded response indicating it was not possible to supply this information by email for data protection reasons. Perfectly acceptable. However, the email concluded, “Sorry for any incontinence caused”. Am I entitled to have my “leak” repaired for free? – Yours, etc,
