Hiring consultant to conduct study on “Assessment of Progressive Water Tariff in developing countries”
Public water utilities providing water to customers through piped networks charge a price for water provision known as rates or tariffs. Water tariffs generally serve multiple purposes – primarily to recover costs, but also to ensure access across socioeconomic groups, to regulate levels of use, and to ensure fairness in water service delivery. While tariff setting practices vary widely, progressive pricing is one of the ways that water demand can be managed and wastage disincentivized, by charging higher prices for increasing consumption. The water tariff issue is particularly pertinent in Bangladesh’s urban and municipal town context given the country’s existing water service scenario, where piped water supply in major cities is heavily subsidized for metered households, whereas poor families living beyond the piped network often pay exorbitant amounts to private water vendors to access water through illegal connections. With this context, a study on “Assessment of progressive water tariff in developing countries” will be commission to a consultant with relevant background.
