Poll: What’s a fair price to pay for water each year?
REPORTS THIS MORNING suggest the standing charge for water will be less than €50 and householders will face an average yearly bill of less than €300.
There had been speculation earlier in the week that the standing charge alone could be as much as €100, before a drop of water is even used, but the government dismissed this and Cabinet will discuss the charge at its meeting today.
So, we want to know: What do you think is a fair price to pay for water each year?
