This week on Drivetime’s ‘Talking Money’ we were discussing water charges, the prices have been published today, we were working on the only indicative price available before this which was published by the Commission for Energy Regulation.

The politics of this weren’t considered, we just looked at costs and the alternative costs of substitution by digging wells, rain water harvesting or the use of septic tanks. The findings show that water is fairly cheap compared to the cost of getting it by your own means.
