[RBS] The rising price of water - up 40% in one year

[Shmuel Rothenberg]

In two weeks' time the price of water will be rising. By how much, remains an open question. 

The Water Authority Council will discuss raising water rates by another 2.5%-3% effective January 1, 2011. This would be the third increase generated by the water reforms initiated a year ago, which will have raised water prices by a combined 40%.
