Water prices will increase next fiscal year for all, rich and poor, according to statements by the chairman of the Holding Company for Water and Wastewater Mamdouh Raslan. The company has set up a proposal to change the water billing system and reworking the breakdown of the consumption tiers. The new system will see three strata: 0-10 cubic meters, 11-20 cubic meters, and 21-30 cubic meters, according to a very poorly written piece from Daily News Egypt quoting the chairman. All three will see their water prices increase. We had noted last December that the price increases would only affect those consuming more than 21 cubic meters.
