Dhaka WASA raises water prices by 5%

In a latest blow for Dhakaiites before Eid-ul-Azha, the city's water supply agency has raised its tariffs by 5% with effect from September 1.

This comes amid surging prices of goods and services with a deepening  energy crisis that is causing frequent power outages in the country.

The Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority or WASA came up with the move in a meeting of its board of directors on Thursday.

The WASA last raised prices for the last time by 5 percent on May 25, 2021.

With the latest hike, the water price for household connections will be Tk 15.94 per 1,000 litres. It will be Tk 44.2 for commercial connections.
