Jesus lads, 'tis looking like BREXIT!

Is there any country in the world (other than UK), where water supply is privatised?

They were trying to do it here, but greedy threatened to move operations to Portugal if they did and the government backed down, sharpish.

There’s bound to be an Irish Water thread. As an aside, they’re the biggest greenhouse gas emitters in Ireland.

I was't aware of that . Could you clarify? How is that possible?

Methane and nitrous oxide releases during sewage treatment.

Whether you treat the sewage or not, those gasses will be released - natural breakdown of the effluent. Releasing the effluent untreated into our waterways would not solve that - but would create other problems.

We need to get the people to create less faeces. . Maybe a faeces tax.

im not fully up to speed on this, but if you leave it by itself (e,g pump it into the sea) it’ll oxidize over time (and no methane would form).
That’s a bad thing because of the shit in the water in the meantime.

It’s the anaerobic treatment (with no oxygen) that leads to the methane & N2O.
