SHAH ALAM: State governments do not have the authority to approve increases in water tariffs as this matter needs to be brought to the ministerial level (Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change) even though there is a need to do so.
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said any state would agree to raise water tariffs as a solution to the increase in operating costs borne by concessionaires.
