Davao City Water District says water rates will stay unchanged for now

The utility says it will absorb higher operating costs brought on by inflation instead of passing them on to consumers for now.

The Davao City Water District (DCWD) has assured consumers that water rates in Davao City will remain unchanged, according to a GMA Regional TV One Mindanao report.

The water district said it will shoulder the additional operational costs it is facing amid inflation for the time being, rather than raising what customers pay, the report said.

The report, a short video segment, did not say how long the current rates will be kept, how much operating costs have risen, or whether a future rate adjustment is being considered.

Why it matters for Davao

Households and businesses served by the DCWD will not see higher water bills for now, even as inflation raises the utility's own costs.
