A senior official of the National Water Supply and Drainage Board said that if there is an increase in electricity rates in the future, the water rates will also have to be increased accordingly.
He also mentioned that if the electricity charges are increased, the water charges cannot be prevented from increasing accordingly, as the pumping process in the distribution of drinking water consumes a large number of units of electricity.
Accordingly, if there is an increase in electricity charges, the water charges will definitely be increased accordingly, the senior official further stated.
