Tokyo waives water fees for four months to encourage air conditioner use amid extreme heat.
Tokyo will waive basic water fees for all households for four months this summer, allocating over ¥36 billion ($250 million) to combat the extreme heat that led to 263 heatstroke deaths last year.
The move aims to encourage the use of air conditioning, which many residents avoid due to high costs.
Basic water charges will be waived, while additional usage fees will still apply.
The policy is expected to benefit around 8 million households.
