Water, Water Everywhere water - ' free and for everyone '. That's an attitude which has taken a severe hammering lately. Water rates have doubled in some areas in the past year and the new separate bills have made the public aware, possibly for the hrst time, that water costs money - our money, and on a national scale, lots of it.
