For starters.
Initiate supply metering and a modest 10% rate increase to cover the cost.
Strip wasa workforce down to bare bones from executive management downward, with zero perks or other terms of engagement benefits (no car & driver, no housing allowance, meal allowance, entertainment allowance, etc, they are paid a blasted salary for those things, their salary ain't for them to just deposit in bank & stare at). Drive yuh car & get to work & do your job, if not, either resign or get fired.
Eliminate ALL private contractors relationships that provide R&M services to supply lines.
Start fixing leaks as soon as reports come in, small or large
gtfo that arrangement with desalcott quick fast & in a hurry. Start it's own desalination project, start small & expand slowly if need be.

"All businesses that are classified by this Tariff as Non-Domestic and are Conducted on domestic premises or in a structure which is partly used for business and partly as domestic premises."
But who supposed to determine dat?ProtonPowder wrote:Dizzy28 wrote:ProtonPowder wrote:Random question, as wasa usually classifies properties as Domestic or Commercial, what exactly does wasa define as a Cottage? I see it on the chart to the back of the bill and curious.

thanks much
Lots of places skirting this classification completely, just like swimming pool charges. I dont think ive ever seen a water bill with this designation, just domestic and commercial.

Based on what iv read
Even if they do..we would still pay about $2.00 TTD per cubic meter.
Jamaica pays $12.00
Curacao\ Bahamas pay $18.00
However....using the per capita use of locals as published by wasa, and assuming we pay 400 per quarter....we actually pay 12 ¢

Meters will benefit the customer and help conserve water, wasa seems not interested in this route .jhonnieblue wrote:Ideally the only way the system should work would be by metering. If it's not metered wasa is the ones profiting. As it stands most places in this banana republic gets water less than twice a week.

first thing you have to ask when considering WASA's figures for per capita usage, do they adjust for the millions of gallons wasted by leaks that are usually left unattended for weeks and months? or are those wasted resources palmed off as "consumed" when they are not?

The per capita usage was off a news article.
I read a WRA doc that set production at 382 MCM per year.
37% domestic
47% unaccounted for...ie leaks.
So they don't hide it
