GANDHINAGAR: Gujarat government is seriously considering a proposal to make water meters compulsory in homes within the state's urban local bodies' limits (ULBs). A high-level document, still at the draft stage, has said, "In urban areas water for domestic purposes should be supplied through meter system." Part of the proposed Gujarat Water Policy 2011, the document says, "Water rates should be such that people may save water, try to reuse it, and prevent wastages and losses", suggesting current rates are highly uneconomical and irrational.
