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

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

The water district said it will, for now, shoulder the additional operational costs it is facing amid inflation instead of raising what customers pay.

The report did not say how long rates will stay at current levels, how large the added costs are, or whether a rate review is planned. DavaoNews will update this story when more details become available.

Why it matters for Davao

Households and businesses served by the Davao City Water District will not see higher water bills for now, even as inflation pushes up the utility's operating costs.
