KUALA LUMPUR: The water tariff is expected to go up once the new Tariff Setting Mechanism (TSM) comes into effect next year, says Water, Land and Natural Resources Minister Dr Xavier Jeyakumar.

"We have done research on three bands with regard to the volume of household usage of water. For example, those under Band 3 are those who use a lot of water, so they will pay more."The rise will depend very much on household use," he said, advising people not to wash their car every day if they want to ensure lower monthly bills.

He did not give a time frame for the implementation of the TSM, saying that discussion is still ongoing with several states on the matter.
