Residents in Greater Bangkok to pay for tap water according to usage

Residents of Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan provinces will pay for tap water according to what they use, from April 1 onwards.

Rakkecha Chaechai, secretary-general of the Ombudsman’s Office, said Monday that this followed a public complaint to the office over the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA)’s “unfair” practice of collecting a minimum monthly water bill starting from Bt45, although one tap-water unit was priced at Bt8.5.
