Valley dwellers facing water shortages will have even more to worry about from December 16 with the hike in water tariff by Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL), the Valley’s water utility. The decision was approved by the commission formed to revise the proposed drinking water tariff.
“It has been five years since the price was last revised,” said Rameshwor Lal Shrestha, spokesperson of KUKL. “The prices of pipes and other necessary repairs have increased in these five years. KUKL also uses large amounts of electricity and it is becoming impossible to pay the electricity bills with the prices that we are charging at the moment.”
