5000 families had water supply cut off in the past year

[Violet]

In Flanders 2,5 million citizens are registered out of which 200.000 received a reminder for not paying bills on time.

For 23.000 cases a request was formulated at the LAC (Local Advice Committee) for an authorisation to cut off water supply. This authorisation was granted for 5000 (http://www.gva.be/nieuws/binnenland/aid1415840/bij-5-000-gezinnen-werd-vorig-jaar-het-water-afgesloten.aspx)families who were left without water.

I personally find the rise quite alarming as it is - and that's putting it softly - a steep one.
In 2009 (http://www.gva.be/nieuws/binnenland/aid917158/water-afgesloten-bij-778-gezinnen.aspx), 778 families were cut off. 3 years later, it hasn't doubled, it hasn't even tripled, or quadrupled. It's at least SIX times as much.

three quarters of our beautiful planet is covered with water, and the ptb have a system that sells it to us , like it's rare... WATER should be one thing that is free ...If they could stop us from breathing air if we don't pay for it, they would do it ... Some wealthy folks have multiple homes, cars, personal assistants to do cooking, laundry , errands, phone calls, WHAT ??? and others struggle to keep the water turned on ??? Food , water , shelter should be the big three... ALL the water on earth , and we must PAY for it ??? Yeah, if they could meter air, most of us would drop on the next breath ...I'm surprised they don't meter sunshine, and wind ...

There's a sanitation process that's applied to used water to be able to flow out of the faucet again. That's what people are charged for, I think, and the transport of it through the pipes and the maintenance of those pipes etc.

Do you think governments will stop people from taking buckets and heading to rivers?

And the sanitation process killed the intestinal flora so that many people get sick.

Not yet because people aren't using buckets . But once people do so they will find a way to collect payments.

This is genocide.
Is this racial exclusion? The Netherlands and Denmark make up a region predominantly Jewish influenced, so this action can be perceived as tolerable under the terms of the Torah particularly if those disconnected are Gentiles. Clearly it is the most poor affected I assume.

@violet Would you be able to translate the Water companies details in particular who are the main shareholders. We might be able to see how this has come to pass, as apparently, under EU law, no home should be deprived of water. But then again, the EU Human Rights Act and the Equality and Diversity Acts protect corporations in the same way as human individuals, so any information we may gleen should be quite revealing.

James McCanney just put out a new e book that is titled "Water". I haven't read it but I did listen to his weekly science hour broadcast and he has a lot to say about the water problems we are facing due to mismanagement and not shortages. He talks about the sewage treatment plants we waste money on, dry toilets and how everyone should have one and how the Bush's are buying up water rights around the world. His website is www.jmccsci.com

Yeah, but "human/People's" water waste can be recycled. Corporate, water cannot, because of chemicals. There is a lot of industry buying up water and quafurs, but they will pick and choose after the shtf, who gets to work all day for a cup of water, off their shelf.

The companies aren't mentioned by name. That would be somewhat damaging, I figure. These are the water companies I could come up with: Water Link, De Water Groep, TMVW Integraal Waterbedrijf, Pidpa,...

Not sure if it's racial. It is indeed the poor that are affected first and that is why politicians are said to be gathering now to see if these people can be protected from closure.

How this has come to pass is as follows: citizen does not pay bills, situation escalates, company sends final reminder, company goes to LAC (Local Advice Committee: apparently every municipality has such a committee that is composed of social workers and representatives) and requests authorisation for closure, LAC investigates case and expresses a verdict, water company enacts verdict.

So long as the poor (-ly schooled) citizen does not object as far as knowing his rights as stipulated in EU-legislation, nothing significant will happen. Unless all the closed off come on the streets and they become visible in the media after which people might start wondering if the water company had any right to close them off in the first place.

My girlfriend is a Filipina, and her family were cut off in January and of course they had to pay a reconnection charge (WHY ???? How much does it "cost" to click a box on a computer screen ?) What made my blood boil even more though, was that during a recent typhoon, the supply pipes to their neighbourhood were damaged, resulting in bills double or triple the norm. Many people complained, and the water company eventually condescended to look into it. Now, bearing in mind that these supply pipes are NOT on anyone's private property, see if you can guess who had to pay for their repair ........... Yup, the customers, poor (VERY poor) families one and all.

Provision of CLEAN water to every household is an easily feasible, public service and a basic human right.

Used to be our taxes paid for that.
