These rates have not been revised since then, and are considered
too low, particularly the water charges which is not at all commensurate with
the cost of operation and maintenance of water supply scheme. The O&M cost
of Greater Shillong Water Supply Scheme is Rs.5.15/KL whereas the present
charge is hardly Rs.0.25 per KL. With the increase in electricity tariff,
salaries of staff, and cost of other inputs, the cost of operation and
maintenance is going up day by day. & shall go up further in future. All
the new connections provided in Pynthor - umkhrah, Nongrim Hills, Nongshilliang
etc., areas were charged with a monthly tariff of Rs.70.00.The consumers are
paying regularly @ Rs.70.00/month for ½ “ connection.
