There are all kinds of reasons why everyone doesn't have running water in this country. Providing running water is a lot more than installing a couple taps. It could be done but the money has to come from somewhere......So does the water. We are very wasteful of water in Canada and we better learn...and soon.


You really are in exhumation mode today, #Juan. -:)

Yeah I know. I have running water and I pay for it........not as part of my taxes but I pay for the water I use. I get a little upset when someone writes that they want running water bu t don't think they should have to pay for it.

Join the club, I get a bill here for sewer water and garbage that runs anywhere between $320 and $370 quarterly.

And I was crying about 80 to 95 bucks Quarterly, but only because it it had doubled in three years....I seem to be always below the minimum water usage, but sewer is based on the actual number of gallons of water used which account for the variance in cost instead of the same bill amount every month..

We get nailed for storm water too. Judging by the puddles in the lane and street I should be billing them for storage.

So, move to the city to get running water. Don't pay your bill. Guess what. No running water.

We drilled our own well.........

McLiar had a plan almost hatched to charge people money for consuming water from their own wells. Nice try

Hope he didn't tell Winny bout it.

Another Lazarus thread. whee.
