Water tax: Only after meters are installed
Water tax in Salt Lake will be a reality only after water meters are installed in all commercial and residential buildings of the satellite township. A decision in this regard was taken at the board-of-councillors meeting of the Bidhannagar Municipality, today. This comes as a deviation from the municipality's previous decision where it was supposed to collect water tax from residential houses on the basis of property tax rates. Ferrule size was the determinant for commercial buildings until water meters are installed.
