The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), says it will\u00a0investigate allegations of over-billing by the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL).<\/p>\n
Some consumers, who complained to Citi News<\/strong>, alleged that the GWCL has been charging above the recent 67 percent increment approved by PURC in 2015.<\/p>\n Some of them forwarded\u00a0copies of their water bills to Citi FM <\/strong>to prove their case.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”2xdGfmxTr839jotMEw96ZeILE7GOZUyH”]The Director of Public Affairs and External Relations of the PURC, Nana Yaa Jantuah, speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show <\/strong>on Thursday, said although they\u2019ve not officially received such complaints, no consumer should be made to pay above the approve increases.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026Because the increase is just about 67 percent, that\u2019s about GHc2.80 per 1000 liters of water.\u00a0 We have published the approved tariff on our website. We need to see the bill, we cannot talk in a vacuum and we cannot determine without investigating it,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n Nana Yaa Jantuah also assured that \u201cwe are going to investigate it, for now I can\u2019t determine what the problem is.\u00a0We have to see the bill, know their consumption rate and any other thing before we can conclude;\u00a0and if we get about three or four bills, then we will know there is a problem for us to investigate and resolve it.\u201d<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin A.
