Today don't complain really cannot, someone commented from yesterday Budget 2017 increase of water price equates to "bring up the awareness of the importance of water"
To the comment above, it's tasteless... one person who replied said ""How about reducing the MP's salaries. It will help remind them the importance of working hard to earn money for a living." Nicely put!
Seriously, we have been taught since young that water is precious and with a revelation of a 30% spike, does it serve as a deterrent? or
Is it because that since 2000 the price of water has not increased due to the higher cost of funding desalination, newwater production and current water infrastructure? So which is it? Both?
That being said, when fully implemented, 75% of the Singapore household will experience a jump of "less than $18" assuming the water consumption does not change. This statement applies to households, businesses like hawker centers will also be affected and that is likely to pass the cost over to consumers. Butterfly effect...
Looks like I will go bathing in the mud pool near my home to save water and to its a good time to work 30% less meaning I have to skive 30% more
