We don't have water companies as such here -

sorry, didn't notice the .ie

all bets off on that score then :-)


To be fair, I haven't noticed the water supply
is any worse here than in England, where I lived half my life.
In fact I would expect a better response here
in case of emergency.

By all accounts it would be hard for .ie supplies to be worse than those
in some .uk regions. However I meant that on your side of the luminous
green pond your water suppliers may not have the same responsibilities
for maintaining your stopcock that they do here.
