Lusanda Bill
25 May 2011
Parliament’s Water Portfolio Committee chairperson Johnny de Lange has warned the Water Affairs Department to be careful of pushing for an independent water regulator.
Water boards across the country will increase their prices on the first of July.
Durban residents are facing a 38-percent increase and people in the North West and Gauteng will have to pay 28-percent and 12-point-nine-percent more respectively.
De Lange says an independent water regulator could hike prices well past what poor communities can afford.
