I am here to inquire with regard to the water meter and bills. There was an increase in the water bills from about ₱2,000.00-₱4,000.00 to ₱12,000.00. May I know for what reason/s or source/s the increase came from? May we also know if we solely own the water meter or are there other owners? Looking forward to address this concern. Thank you.
