Today is the last day of free water before water bills start tomorrow. According to Hotpoint 6 out of 10 of us plan to cut down on personal hygiene and 57% of us will wash our clothes less often. So how will you spend your last free water day? Will you have a bath tonight, water the garden or have water fight?
I spoke to Bill Murphy from Hotpoint who went through the charges which were released today just 24 hours before we start getting billed.
€278 for an average family of two adults and 2 children

Metered customers will be charged €2.44 per 1,000 litres but charges are capped at the unmetered rate for the first 9 months
