Poll: Have you changed your water usage since the charges came in?

Using less? Using more?

IT’S TWO DAYS since water charges officially kicked in across Ireland.

The charges were brought in after the government said that the current funding model for water was no longer sustainable.

So we’re asking: Have you changed how much water you use since the charges came in?

Poll Results:

I haven't paid attention to how much I use (5428)

Yes, I'm definitely using less (3072)

I'm using more (587)

Yes, I'm definitely using less
I haven't paid attention to how much I use
