CUSTOMERS of Manila Water Co., Inc. will see higher water bills starting in April as the east zone concessionaire seeks to recover losses incurred from foreign exchange movements, according to the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System Regulatory Office (MWSS RO).
At the same time, west zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. deferred the implementation of its rate adjustment to the third quarter.
At a briefing on Thursday, MWSS RO Chief Regulator Patrick Lester N. Ty said that the agency approved the tariff increase of P0.04 per cubic meter for Manila Water as part of its foreign currency differential adjustment (FCDA) for the second quarter.
