The Marine and Water Bureau (DSAMA) said in a statement yesterday that higher water tariffs will be in effect from November 1.
The bureau said in the statement that more than 90 percent of domestic water users will need to pay less than 4.5 patacas more per cubic metre of water while about 60 percent of non-domestic water users are expected to pay less than seven patacas more per cubic metre of water.
Non-domestic water users are classified in two groups – one refers to sectors such as the gaming industry, hotels and saunas, while the other group refers to public entities, schools and hospitals.
