DAVAO CITY – The second tranche of the water rate adjustment of 20% will be implemented within the year, according to the Davao City Water District .DCWD spokesperson JC Duhaylungsod said during Kapehan sa Davao on Monday that the documents and other requirements submitted by the water utility for the rate increase are currently being reviewed by the Local Water Utilities Administration .
“We would prefer to have it in the first semester because we have numerous projects that are in the pipeline that we would want to implement this year, and we need additional 20% to fund all of these projects so that implementation will be on schedule,” she said. LWUA approved in July 2022 the proposal of the DCWD to increase water rate by 60% to raise funds to support the agency’s 10-year development program.
Even if it is fully implemented, Duhaylungsod claims the water rate in the city remains among the most affordable in the country.
