Water
The supply of water is the responsibility of the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) and the following charges currently apply for industrial use:
Connection Fee M100.00
Rate per kilolitre M3.12
Kilolitres of water M3.24
Returned to sewers:
WASA assumes that water returned to sewers is 85% of kilolitres billed. However, wet industries receive special treatment through the concessionary Waste water Tariffs for Wet Industries Notice 2000 which applies the following costs:
Untreated effluent: M1.07 per kilolitre
Treated effluent: M0.50 per kilolitre for the first year of operation
and M0.63 per kilolitre for subsequent years
Standing charge for all customers = M2.81

BAND
A. 0 – 5 kilolitres M1.86 per 1000 litres
B. 6 – 10 kilolitres M3.10 per 1000 litres
C. 11 – 23 kilolitres M5.51 per 1000 litres
D. Above 23 kilolitres M7.62 per 1000 litres
Non-Domestic Customer – Water
All consumption M4.44 per 1000 litres
WASA classifies any industry that utilises 2,000 (two thousand)
kilolitres per day as a wet industry.
Factories requiring large volumes of non-potable water may be
able to source water directly at a much lower cost.
