In response to a report Khaleej Times published on January 4 about a hike in water and electricity tariff in the Capital, the Abu Dhabi Distribution Company has issued a clarification. According to the authority, a conservation-oriented tariff has been introduced to discourage water wastage.
The distribution company has increased the water charges for expatriates by 6.5 per cent - to Dh10.55 from Dh9.90 per 1,000 litres - on consumption beyond the threshold of 5,000 litres per day for villas. The consumption limit for apartments is 700 litres a day.
There is no increase in tariff for consumers who consume 5,000 litres of water a day.
The tariff for government entities has also been increased to Dh10.55 per 1,000 litres, charging them the full cost of producing water. There is no change in the electricity tariff.
