17 December at 15:58 · Please share this vital information that just received. We need to become as armed as possible, with information, that is. Right 2 Water Galway someone just emailed me this fascinating info on Irish water privatisation: I was reading your article in the journal and you refer to the fact that French multinational Veolia are installing water meters, they are doing a bit more than that. They already own many of our water and wastewater plants. I thought this might interest you. Improvement Scheme DBO - Contract for 20 years. Castlebar Sewerage Scheme DBO - Contract for 20 years. Greystones Waste Water Treatment facility - contract for 20 years Srowland Athy Water Treatment Works DBO - contract for 20 years Clareville Water Treatment Plant Upgrade, DBO - contract for 20 years Mullingar Wastewater Treatment Wicklow Wastewater Treatment Dungarvan Wastewater Treatment Monaghan Pilot for Group Water Schemes Castlebar Wastewater Treatment Plant Osberstown Sludge Treatment Facility Another player in the Irish ,water for profit, market is Celtic Anglian Water; CAW was actually the 1st private company to be awarded a Water Treatment Operations and Maintenance contract in Ireland. CAW managing director, Mark Driver , previously worked for the Anglian Water Group in the UK and Norway. CAW interests include; Sligo Water Treatment Project Sligo Waste Water Treatment Project Waterford Waste Water Treatment Project Dublin Bay Project This, and previous governments have spent years privatising your water through contracts with their pals, that is why they are so against a referendum on keeping water in public ownership. Theyve sold it off already. The Water Services Act and the set up of Irish Water are the final nails in the coffin of water as a common good in Ireland. The metering program is not meant to help us to conserve water, it is meant to make it easier to commodify our Human Right to Water. Share
