The Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (WASA) has decided to increase water charges by 10 per cent from July 1.
After the revised price comes into effect, the charge for residential customers will increase from Tk 16.70 per 1,000 litres to Tk 15.18 per 1,000 litres and for commercial customers it will rise to Tk 46.20 per 1,000 litres — which is Tk 4.20 higher than the current price of Tk 42 per 1,000 litres.
