Water is a basic life need and should not be restricted it is a human right to have water and fresh clean water at that. Why should we have to pay for water in the first place? I'm not talking about the treatment it needs to be cleaned etc just the fact we have to pay for water and pay for leaking pipes when they're not our fault if they leak. Of course it isn't good for them to break or leak as it then causes other damages to structure around it. But why do we have to keep having our roads dug up by each supplier (Water, gas, electric, telephone, internet, tv etc) unless it's an emergency they need to all work together and do maintenance in the same timeframe one month once a year. We end up paying more for car repairs and road maintenance due to constant digging up and pot holes being created and who knows sink holes eventually.
Water should be free. I shouldn't have to pay someone wages.
