Draft Water Law Scrutiny
Morier House St Helier
JE1 1BA
Dear Sirs
Water Bill
As I may be affected (charged) by the new law I am writing with my comments.
- What is the law proposing to protect against?
- Are they future possible dangers or are they happening now?
- Is a new law necessary (more civil servants) don't we have protection under other existing legislation?
- We have managed without a law to date. What has happened to need one now?
- The users are JNWC customers, domestic borehole users and farmers. Is it just going to be a revenue raising exercise?
- As you know borehole water for domestic use is NOT FREE – it has to be collected
& treated.
As an example of costs I have recently had a new pump & treatment plant costing over £2000. This needs servicing annually and on 29.5.04 I paid out £280 to the JFTU Ltd.
Presumably if borehole users are to be charged for untreated water our costs will be allowed as a charge on whoever is deemed to own the water?
Yours faithfully J K Dobbs
