Water Supply and Drainage Minister Jeevan Thondaman said that if the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) reduces electricity charges from next month, he will reduce water charges as well.
He said Power Minister Kanchana Wijesekera had assured that electricity charges will be reduced next month and he said it will be possible to reduce water charges in comparison to the percentage reduced.
Minister Thondaman announced this during a media briefing held in Kandy. He emphasized further that a formula to calculate the money spent on producing drinking water and distributing it is in operation and that water charges are determined, based on that.
