GWI wants to increase their tariffs because of inflation.

Was just out having lunch which thankfully I can afford and which unfortunately costs more than that petty amount coming from the government for single parents when I finally had a chance to read today's Kaieteur News and almost immediately.

So the management of GWI is going to petition the PUC for an increase in rates in water to reflect inflation. This sounds as if GWI is becoming another GPL. There is no excuse for bad management and there is a lot of that at both of these utility companies but instead of trying to fix that, they automatically try to stick the consumer with heavier bills. It is unconscionable.

Instead of upping the cost for those already paying for this service, how about this very simple idea, charge those people who aren't paying for any water, accordingly charge those folks who have residential service but are operating car washes from it, or those who are disconnected but yet still receiving water through illegal means.

It is nonsense that with all these avenues available GWI is looking to kill the very few that fulfill their obligations and pay their bills. Pretty soon, it will become just like GPL where I will have to be paying for those who aren't. It is fucking sickening, unfair and nothing more than a big load of crap.

And speaking of inflation, what about the people who are supposed to be paying this. They are not being shown any consideration. It would appear as if inflation does not affect them, because every fucking price is supposed to increase and be justified as inflation yet people's salaries aren't going anywhere. Just how the fuck are people expected to pay for certain things? Are they supposed to go and thief it or sell themselves to get it? and that too for water which isn't good enough to drink or cook with. That is beyond nonsense, apparently Karan Singh wasn't the only mad man over there.

For now, all GWI has petitioned the PUC for this increase, I sincerely hope that this request is denied by the folks over there. Let GWI get their fucking house in order before they come knocking on my blasted door for more money!
