It dispenses free water. YES, I said FREE. Yes, I believe it. I just question who put it there. In the barangay I used to live, on a small island, there was a main water line running along the highway. Some industrious vandal had cut the line and inserted a tap. Local people would come there and do their laundry or fill water buckets for free. But who put it there? It was an amateurish job and I heard that no one knew who put it there but no one in authority had the willpower to take it out. Barangay captains lose their positions by pissing off all the people "borrowing" the free water. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert k Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I think I might be paying the most since I'm in the US right now, but trash pickup and sewer is included. 9K php per month. I used to pay 160 php for drinking water and 265 php for tap water per month. Landlord handled trash disposal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my home in the US I have to pay about $50 per month if my water and electric even if there is no usage. Storm water fee's sewer fee's, trash fee's, taxes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
