Water rates will go up again if consumers will allow the two water concessionaires--Maynilad Water Services Inc. (West zone concessionaire) and Manila Water Co. Inc.—to raise their rates with the approval of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS).

Water for All Refund Movement, led by its president Rodolfo Javellana Jr., on Wednesday said the two concessionaires recently filed a petition with the MWSS for another round of increases—P9.69 per cubic meter plus a P34.31 increase in basic charge for Maynilad and P8.30 per cubic meter plus a P24.80 increase in basic charge for Manila Water.
