It’ll be your own fault if you run out of water

From Mike Throssell.
IN early December while visiting St Helier on business I noticed that the shower near the beach was jammed on, with water pouring down the pavement.

Knowing that Jersey can sometimes be a victim of a water shortage I tried to turn the shower off. After firstly getting soaked because I turned the top tap by mistake, I realised that it wouldn’t turn off.

Imagine my surprise when on Tuesday 14 January I noticed that the tap was still spurting water. This spot must have been passed by hundreds of people in the past six weeks – has no-one bothered to report it or have the authorities not bothered to fix it?

Don’t come running to me in August when you have no water in your taps.

Here in Germany water is metered and I pay over £3,65 per M³.

Water is as valuable as oil in some countries, and to waste water in such a way should in my opinion be punished.
