Group ready to launch text alert system in time for water meters

A TEXT alert system as part of the Tuam anti-water charges campaign is ready to be rolled out once Irish Water begins installing meters.
Irish Water has confirmed that it has been discussions with Galway County Council and it is now ready to roll out the installation of domestic meters around Co Galway.
However, despite changes to water charges, considerable opposition remains and campaigners will travel to Galway and Dublin this weekend to take part in public protests.
Spokesperson for the Tuam Against Water Charges and Water Meters group Keith Crisham, Lissadyra, Tuam, says the text alert system mooted some months ago is all ready.
