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

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.
