Why would anyone sign up as anything other than a 1 person household?
a 2 person household is net more expensive to 2 1 person households.
or my maths is shocking

How does 20% not paying result in the downfall of IW?
I can't see them being allowed fail, Gov will continue to heavily subsidise until penalties take effect.
.............I see huge problems with non payment in the Local Authority area of Housing. How can this be enforced as there are no penalties. Irish water will not get 90+ % compliance. When this gets traction the non compliant numbers will only grow.
So once again it will be the compliant paying their share plus the non compliant sectors share through extra taxation.
It does not seem to be a very palatable recipe for the compliant.

Flowerman.Water is payed for through general taxation.
Some of thr FG and Labour ministers have even said that on TV.So what does it take for the remaining people to finally realize that this has been the case for so many years now.
Water was never free.We have allways paid for our water through our taxes
People are saying no to being double charged/double taxed on it.
Should tenants be forced to pay infrastructure costs relating to a property that they don't own? This in my view is where the difficulties lie.
Flowerman.
Cannot but agree that up to now we pay for water/sewage via our taxes.
What was NOT made clear to us was that these extra taxes are to make up for an ongoing lack of expenditure on water/sewage over the years.
Had these Dial Twits clearly told us that we MUST pay extra to ensure future water/sewage and that Irish Water was the proper way to go , we could have come to an agreed/fair solution.
These Dial Twits have now ensured that any solution will now lack credibility and too many people (me included) cannot sfford to trust any self serving utterances from the twits.
I keep saying {you couldn,t make this up}
