The UK is evaluating a 'bath time tax', a proposed system of progressive water tariffs aimed at promoting conservation by charging more for higher usage. Supported by Water Minister Emma Hardy, the plan involves a roll-out of smart water meters, which only 12% of homes currently have. Critics from the Conservative party argue it disproportionately affects families, especially those with children and larger households, raising concerns about fairness in the initiative.
The proposed 'progressive' water tariffs in the UK aim to charge households higher rates based on water consumption to promote conservation amidst rising water bills.
Emma Hardy, the Water Minister, endorses innovative billing processes to ensure water bills are fairer and emphasizes the need for advanced smart water meters to facilitate this.
