“Many low-income families are simply surviving, holding their heads above water often at the same time paying off debts to keep their households afloat. To introduce additional costs for rates or water and sewerage provision will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.” Frances Dowds (NIAPN Director) Water Reform Submission, 2003

See News section for up and coming Anti-Water Tax community meeting January 07.
 It is the NI Anti-Poverty Network's opinion that water and sewerage are basic human needs and they should be provided free from the state. For those people existing on the edges of poverty the introduction of charges for water and sewerage will have significant repercussions.
In April 2007 the government have plans to make our water service into a Go-Co (a government-owned company). They say we have no choice but to pay… Communities Against the Water Tax say we have!!
