The government will charge a fee for sewerage facilities being developed on the islands, reports Haveeru.
At a ceremony to hand over the facilities, Housing Minister Mohamed Aslam said the amount to be charged would be decided “in accordance with rates charged in Male.”
“At least an operational cost must be obtained by the operators from those who use the service,” he said.
The government had taken a loan from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), he said, to to develop sewerage facilities in Shaviyani atoll Funadhoo, Baa atoll Eydhafushi and Meemu atoll Muli, and would charge for the service to recoup the operating cost.
