Another problem is the system is old and the pipes break and cause a huge amount of water loss. We have friends that own property and they can’t control the water pressure properly so at night the pressure spikes and breaks pipes. That happens often and people end up with $10, 000 euros water bills. Wow. I had wondered if this was an infrastructure issue. Having been on the receiving end of a $700 water bill once (thankfully it was the water companies fault, whew), I would faint dead away if I got a 10k water bill in the mail. Good to hear real life on the ground info about how this is effecting people and businesses day to day. Husband and I have had to cancel 2 trips this year already due to life (and sadly death.) We are looking at early next year for our next attempt.
