The hardest fact to digest, today, is that some of the Municipal Corporations are in such a tight situation that they are only able to provide with 45 litres of water per capita a day, who’s to blame?
Do you even know the price of water which is given to you?
Not the billing price. The price we pay is only for the distribution, what are the piping costs, the costs of building dams, treatments, maintenance.
