BW today sent letters to moorers at Findern to let the Nadee restaurant use the waterpoint used for boaters. The Nadee insist that they only want the water to water their spice garden (and not provide water for their massive marquee and its regular events!).
The boaters have been protecting the supply via the use of a padlock - the restaurant having installed a high pressure pipe and fittings (a bit over the top for a bit of watering).
I don't feel that this is a good use of the impoverished, soon to be underfunded charity, with very limited resources and my fellow boaters feel that when the bills roll in the water supply will soon be cut off - due to the likely abuse of this facility.
update:
Apparently the water supply is not metered, however, as the country is facing a severe water shortage (which will close many canals next summer) it is unlikely that this situation will continue. Expect the price of a water supply to rocket as it has been doing for electric and gas as demand exceeds supply.
