Northern Ireland water board public meetings will be held on the dates below to discuss the introduction of water charges, all are welcome to these meetings. Let the government know our views on their riduculous water charge scheme, otherwise we'll be paying through the nose as usual.

The introduction of water charges, will cost more than the amount needed to fix the water system. More beaurocratic bollix for pensioners, and the most vunerable members of our society to wade through. Not to mention the installation of thousands of water meters!! and added electricity cost of running these meters. Below is a list of the dates for the water board public meetings.
