Wasa affairs
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on the LGRD ministry expressed great dissatisfaction regarding service to consumers of water. As a consumer, I am sorry to point out that Wasa compels the consumers to practice unfair means relating to Wasa bill payment. The revenue inspector is the sole authority to dictate Wasa bill tariff since domestic consumers are to pay Tk. 141 for one cubic meter of water against Tk 461 for the same one cubic meter of water for commercial consumers. Wasa supplies water through one water meter to a building whatever may be the number of consumers of different categories. The consumers are unaware of their individual consumption while the rates are too high comparatively for commercial consumers. When the government is determined to curb corruption, the LGRD ministry may devise some means so that consumers are not victimised in any manner. Further, self billing like Titas gas may be practised.
