Singapore will raise the price of water by 18% over two years from April, as the natural resources-lacking city state grapples with rising production costs.
Consumers will have to pay an additional S$0.50 per cubic meter of water, which means most households will see an increase of less than S$10 in their monthly water bills once the full price revision takes effect, the national water agency PUB said in a statement Wednesday. The changes will be implemented in two phases, with a S$0.20 hike from April 1, 2024 and and a S$0.30 increase from April 1, 2025.
