The Santo Domingo Water Corporation (CAASD) says that the first 35,000 water meters out of a total of 300,000 are being installed in areas of high consumption. Julio Suero Marranzini, director of CAASD, said that consumers will now pay for the amount of water they consume. The meters and billing contract per consumption has been awarded to Triple A, a new company. The meters are being installed to motivate people not to waste water. He said that only 27% of residents in Santo Domingo pay for the service.
