GEORGE TOWN: While water tariff rates for domestic users are set to go up in Peninsular Malaysia and Labuan, in Penang rebates will be offered to the B40 category to cushion the blow.
"The second is 'Rebat Mutiara' for those who fall under the eKasih scheme with an income of RM1,036 a month will receive a rebate RM10 per month as well," he said at a press conference held in Komtar on Wednesday . Chow said it had been 31 years since the water tariff had been increased with the last one being in 1993.
"The water tariff rate in the state of Penang is lower than the operating cost of PBAPP and consumers pay a very low price from the actual cost."However, PBAPP still has to bear the budgeted subsidy amounting to RM78mil for the same period," he said.SPAN added that the increase was still low and would be unable to cover the cost of providing water, which was RM1.75 per cubic meter based on 2022 records.
