Water tariffs should raise the awareness of users on water scarcity and water waste issues and provide incentives for water saving and sustainable use, therefore supporting environmental protection. However, they should be accompanied with locally adequate social policies to support households that might be especially vulnerable to tariff increases, to “leave no one behind”.

'water waste issues? Or do you mean wastewater issues?
We revised the respective sentence as "....water scarcity and water use efficiency...."
