Murcian families are going to benefit from a fall in the price of water between 8.1 and 9%, depending on consumption, said today the mayor of Murcia, after being approved the proposal made by the City Murcia on the Board of Directors of the Municipal Company Aguas de Murcia.
All domestic consumption, ranging from a share of 0-20 cubic meters per two months, are going to benefit from the adoption of this new tariff structure.
Specifically, for receipts from 0 to 10 cubic meters descent reach 9%, while for the 10 to 20 cubic meters will be of 8.1%.

Specifically, the slope becomes effective on the concept of 'quota consumption' that specifies the bill, which varies depending on water consumption for each household, a concept that achieves a reduction of up to 20% in the tariff block from 0 to 10 m3.
The proposed new tariff structure approved today will be effective before the end of June, in compliance prior to the entry into force administrative process.
