The tariff will be reviewed after three months, if there are substantial movements of prices of critical inputs<\/p>\n<p>In light of the development, the council is also considering increasing tariffs to residents who receive water from the dam in order to minimise making a loss. This was revealed in a report by the council which stated that:<\/p>\n<p>When council supplies water to Zinwa, it would have added value to it such as treating and pumping. Thus, council\u2019s value addition should be over and above the cost of purchasing raw water.
