💧 No Water Tariff Revision for First Half of 2026

The Cabinet of Ministers has decided to maintain the existing water tariffs without any changes during the first six months (1H) of 2026. • Key Driver: A comprehensive analysis by the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) confirmed that current tariff rates are sufficient to fully cover total operating expenses. • Policy Context: This review was conducted in strict compliance with the semi-annual tariff formula approved by the Cabinet on 15 July 2024, which mandates assessments every six months based on fluctuations in key cost factors. • Status: Existing water tariff structures will remain unchanged until the next scheduled review, providing cost predictability for consumers and businesses alike.
