No. The average commercial charge for water at present across all counties is ¤2.52 per 1,000 litres. In Denmark one will get three quarters of a bottle of water for ¤1. That is an indication of how expensive water is there. That is very expensive water compared with ours. The actual cost will be determined by the regulator. I do not know if that is helpful. People will know the cost well in advance. They will know their water usage and can predict what they will probably use.
