    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was supposed to address the following questions. One of them was on the increase of water tariffs by 100 per cent. The tariff that was being used in billing consumers under the Coast Water Service Board (CWSB) until December, 2008, was the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation (NWCPC) Tariffs Amendment Regulations of 1999 that came into operation ten years ago, from 30th November, 1999 to early this year, 2009. No adjustment has been made, considering the rising cost of water chemicals, operations and maintenance materials, labour and electricity. Hon. Members will recall that the cost of electricity and petroleum products has been increased substantially in the last ten years, whereas the water tariffs have remained unchanged. That has made it impossible for water service providers to maintain and deliver the services."
