“Improving value, Improving services and Improving for the future”
Solomon Water has announced new tariffs effective 1 January 2024 approved by the Solomon Islands Government through the Minister for Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification (MMERE). The new tariff represents an increase of 81 cents per kilolitre (tonne) of water for the lowest domestic tariff band. The tariffs have been reviewed in consideration of the following drivers:
Increasing cost of delivery of water and wastewater services such as rising electricity, maintenance, and infrastructure development expenses.
Continuous improvements Solomon Water will be undertaking to provide safe and reliable water services in our areas of operations. Loan repayments to the Government for donor-funded water infrastructure projects.
