direct water user charges
Direct water user charges are fees paid directly by individuals or businesses for the water they use. These charges are based on the amount of water consumed, often measured in units like gallons or cubic meters. They help cover the costs of supplying, maintaining, and operating water systems. This pricing encourages efficient water use, ensures users contribute to infrastructure costs, and helps fund improvements. Essentially, when you pay for water directly, you're contributing to the infrastructure and resources needed to deliver clean, reliable water to your home or business.
