Description
Who said: “Love, Honour and Carry Water”? — The story behind Ireland’s Group Water Schemes is written by John Hynes, whose company Group Waterworks Ltd opened ground and laid thousands of miles of piping throughout the country in the 45 years from 1968 to 2013.
Who said “Love, Honour and Carry Water” was a parody of the wedding vows used as an advertising slogan in the 1960’s. But for women in rural Ireland it was the harsh reality of daily life at a time when 75% of rural households had no piped water supply.
This book tells the story of the author’s involvement in the evolution of the Group Water Schemes in Ireland and the supply of piped water throughout rural Ireland.
