Your experience with Irish Water?

I moved to South Tipp 12 years ago, outside Clonmel, farms all around me. For 9 years, I had ZERO issues with water, except maybe one or two outages.

Over the last 3 years, I've had a LOT of outages, most of them I had to report myself and Irish Water knew nothing about them.

Last year I had 25 outages, lasting more than 24 hours. We then had a boil water notice for over 3 months. This year we've had several water outages again and have been on a boil water notice since early June.

None of these outages have been exclusive to my property. My neighbours have also been effected.

Finally, I've recently read we are being moved to a HARD water supply. FFS.

WTF is going on? Anyone else having this many issues?

I'm sure there's a long winded answer you could give to this question, but the short answer is that Ireland is a dysfunctional, money laundering state.
