Nice step and nice measures, but who will pay for these meters? I know that rationing is part of the authorities' strategy to control water and electricity consumption; yet the authorities should have sufficient public awareness.

Abu Dhabi A new utility bill for water and electricity is to be rolled out across the emirate of Abu Dhabi in March 2012.
The bill will provide customers with more information to monitor and control their consumption, said Nicholas Carter, Director General of the Regulation and Supervision Bureau (RSB).
Carter told Gulf News: "All water and electricity customers will receive separate utility bills showing the government subsidy. In addition residential customers will have two consumption bands indicating an "ideal-average" and above "ideal-average" range of consumption."
He pointed out that steps taken now will help ensure the continuous and secure supply of water and electricity into the future.
