The water tariffs will surge by 70 per cent from September 01 this year revealed the National Water Supply and Drainage Board.
The decision, however, will not affect low income families, and a final decision has not been taken to date on the percentage by which the water tariffs are increased in business premises.
Previously steps were taken to revise the electricity tariffs and although the percentage was revealed to be 70 per cent the charge has increased by more than 100 per cent in some bills.
