Govt water bills cripple water supplier

Residents of Dar es Salaam and Coast regions are going to pay a lot more for water effective this month, going by last month’s announcement by the Dar es Salaam Water and Sewerage Corporation (Dawasco).

The minister for Water, Prof Jumanne Maghembe, has assured urban water authorities in the country that the accumulated debts amounting to Sh13.6 billion will be settled through budgetary allocations in the 2014/15 financial year through the Treasury.
