[Hurdegaryp]

Yes, it's very kind of them to tell us how much of our wages they're confiscating.

Hey, fund my services. That's worth a few thousand out of my pay cheque per year.

The water tax back home can fuck right off back home, though.

That's a sentence, apparently. ^

You'll just drink bog water instead?

Oh, I don't begrudge having to fund local services. I just wish taxation was distributed more fairly. Yes, I imagine you've developed quite an appreciation for water, there. The UK isn't the worst culprit for squandering water, though.

Still 100x cleaner than what a lot of Africans are forced to drink.

I'll continue to expect a terrible water service to remain free. Provide decent quality water and actually provide hot water at all and I'll accept a tax on it.

Never had any problem with paying my water tax, but that's just because the water quality over here is outstanding.

I have to pay a daily standard charge for water/sewage, then based on the amount of water I use. Which isn't particularly fair, seeing as the standing charges are way above usage costs, but I suppose they'll argue the money is used for maintenance and whatnot.

It's not even the hard water issue, that's difficult to combat on a large scale. But when the water out of my tap can make me seriously Ill every second summer thanks to e.coli outbreaks, I don't much feel like paying for it.

That's horrendous. Do you boil it/filter it?

As an urban citizen, I most certainly do live in an apartment, yes. And let's face it, tap water doesn't just magically appear. A lot of infrastructure and quality control is needed for that to happen.

Yes, that truly is horrendous. I assume the Irish government expects people to drink Guinness instead of tap water.

Exurbia is so much better

It's not redundant like suburbia, and you get well water and a septic field

Use of alcoholic susbstance was prevalent in general, due to anti-septic properties of alcohol.

Lordy = kramer? Galla is a vicious preditor, the alpaca is thernsy deliciousness?

Its all starting to make sense.

For a very loose definition of 'sense'.

Look who you are dealing with here (me). Loose is as good as it gets.

And who pays for the well, and the septic tank and service? Nothing is free.

Freedom is. A libertarian told me so.

Boil it, yes. Or buy big bottles. Either way, it's an extra expense.

You have a group of people that use their own cynicism as an argument against the entire social order, who have seen a certain trend and want to extrapolate it to the out ost degree. Not a recipe for sanity.

Is the water tax what you pay for used water, or sort of part of local/municipal tax system to upkeep infrastructure and you pay different pay for water usage?
