Higher Water Costs for the New Year in India
In Coimbatore, India for the new year, the cost of drinking water is increasing.
"We had invited public views on the increase. But, very few people have complaints," says the Mayor R. Venkatachalam, pointing out that a major section of the city realizes that the charges have to be increased to make the water supply viable for the city.
"This proves that 2008 will be a year of higher taxes for the people," argues P. Rajkumar of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, one of the parties that had been opposed to any increase in existing taxes or introduction of new ones.
Of course I am certain that in the future, all the world's peoples will be paying more for potable water, as reported by The Hindu.
