The proposed residential water rates based on three levels of consumption are not fair to large and extended families living in a household.
Large families will be penalised instead of being helped.
In addition, some households are large because they are helping children from villages and rural areas to get a better education; instead of getting help, they will also be penalised.
With increased VAT, high prices and inflation, the water rate increases will create a heavy burden on consumers.
Water availability is a human right that should be available at a reasonable cost.
