I read recently that the new water company was set up by this coalition government using a guillotine motion ie no debate. Then it appears the MD was just appointed by Phil Hogan!! And on the saga goes.
Now it looks as if they are making up rules on the fly ie call out charges, fixing leaks(passing the buck). Charging for water that is undrinkable. Another one I heard today is that a home owner is responsible for the sewer pipe until it reaches the main in the road!!! So if that pipe was badly installed in the first place ie engineers often have the bright idea to turn the pipe for a sideways feed as opposed to a top feed, this can cause lots of problems in the future, is it morally or ethically ok to lump charges on home owner who had no say on the initial work??
In other words how can a company be set up in such a fashion? Is there any way of flagging this to the EU?
And if I allow the meter to be sited on my land ie away from the stop cock will that make the water company responsible for all the pipe up to the meter?
Finally is this the worst ever attempt by an inept government to squeeze every last cent from a placid electorate?
If I have misunderstood how this company was set up can someone enlighten me please?
