*Harare City Council 2019 Budget To Hike Water Tariffs And Other Charges* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ht Harare City Council (HCC) has proposed to increase the water tariff by an estimated 19 per cent. The city fathers also intend to raise clamping, tow-away and storage charges by 100 per cent. While presenting the 2019 budget on Monday, HCC finance and development committee chairperson Luckson Mukunguma said > Therefore the proposed increase in the water tariff is expected to improve cost recovery and reduce dependence on the other accounts and ensure sustainability. For high-density areas 1-10 cubic metres (m3) existing charge is 70 cents, proposed is 83 cents. > For 11 to 20 cm this will go up from 80 cents to 93 cents while water more than 20m3 will be $1,20 up from $1. > Low-density areas will be charged 95 cents for water charged between 1 and 10m3 up from 80 cents. Water used between 11 and 20 m3 will be $1,30 up from $1,20 and above 20m3 it will remain at $1,50. > Your Worship, the justification for water tariff increase has been a drastic increase in the cost of inputs namely chemicals, cost of repairs and maintenance, capital charges on borrowed funds for capital works and other operational expenses. *More: Daily News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
