KWA administrative fee on water tankers hits civic body’s water supply hard
The Kerala Water Authority’s new administrative fee on water‑tanker services is raising operating costs for operators, which officials say is straining the city’s drinking‑water supply. Councillor Antony Painuthara of Panampilly Nagar highlighted the impact, while Health Standing Committee chair Seena Gokulan called for the surcharge to be withdrawn. The fee adds to existing water charges and could affect overall distribution.
