approved by the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System BoardA P8.04 per cubic meter rate hike will be implemented for Manila Water consumers while aP3.29 per cubic meter rate hike will be for Maynilad consumers.
According to the MWSS, this is part of the rate rebasing adjustments that will be implemented from 2023 to 2027. “Ito po kasi ay mga projects na naadvance nila at ginagastusan pa po nila tuloy tuloy po yan at kailangan din po nila marecover yan so kaya nga po inapprove natin yung projects to ensure that the service will be improved,” Atty. Patrick Lester Ty, chief regulator of MWSS regulatory office, said.“Bumabangon pa lang tayo tapos yan na naman nakaamba pagtaas ng tubig,” Lucila said.
“If we keep on delaying this lalaki at lalaki po ito kasi ito pong deferral nagaaccumulate. Paghindi po makuha ito ay idedelay po nila yung mga ibang proyekto kasi hindi po nila kayang iadvance ito,” Ty said.“Imbes na yung magiging tubo ko ibabayad ko pa sa expenses para sa water bill di ba,” Binondo said.
