Understanding your water bill

When you pay your water bill, you contribute to the protection of the resource, to the catchment, to the treatment of water, to its transport, its monitoring, its distribution but also to the collection of wastewater and its purification before the return to the natural environment. Without forgetting the royalties which will finance broader actions of water conservation.
