In response to the recent rise in prices, Tokyo has decided to make the basic water fee free. For average households, this will reduce the burden from 860 yen to 1,460 yen per month. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government aims to reduce the burden on households caused by rising prices, encourage the use of air conditioners, and help prevent heatstroke. In addition, the government will subsidize the equivalent amount of the basic water fee to municipalities that take the same initiative as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, making the basic water fee free throughout the city.
I don't pay for the water myself, so I use water without worrying about the price, but I want to be aware that I can use water because I can pay the water bill, and I want to use water carefully from now on. I also want to see efforts to make water free of charge not only in Tokyo but all over the country.

I'm in trouble because not only my water bill but also my gas bill has been increasing in price recently.
返信削除I started paying my own water bills after I became a university student, and learned the importance of water conservation. I think the Tokyo government's policy of covering water bills is amazing.
