[RBS] Mei Shemesh - The price of water has DOUBLED

Tue Sep 21 09:25:32 IST 2010

It seems like the rates changed in July again, unfortunately.

If I understand this long-winded PDF from the government properly, we are actually paying a touch less than the official rates (watch out for the lines break in the link) -

and it seems to be confirmed, according to merkaz hashilton - 

see presentation http://www.masham.org.il/Updates/Documents/%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%9D%20-%20%D7%99%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%99%202010%20.pdf

Have you received your new water bill from Mei Shemesh?

The price of the water for Tarif A has risen from NIS 4.61 to 8.35 per cubic

meter and the price for Tarif B has risen from NIS 8.43 to 13.50.

Is this really what was supposed to happen to water prices? I thought it was

supposed to be a gradual increase in prices of 40% that was to occur over

time until 2011. Price already jumped at the beginning of the year.

Do we have any way of fighting this?

Thank you and Chag Sameach.

Jonathan and Debbie Sassen
