Melaka studying proposal to raise water tariff


MELAKA: The Melaka government is conducting a detailed study of the proposed increase in water tariff for domestic users in the state before submitting the application to the National Water Services Commission.

Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said that the study was crucial to ensure that the upcoming water tariff hike, which was last increased in April 2011, does not burden the people and does not adversely affect Syarikat Air Melaka Berhad.
