Saigon Water Corporation Sawaco Limited said that from January 1, 2025, drainage and wastewater treatment service fees in Ho Chi Minh City will increase by 5% compared to the current level.
The increase from 25% to 30% is calculated on the water supply price (this price does not include VAT).
Saigon Water Supply Corporation Sawaco will collect fees for drainage and wastewater treatment services through water bills, based on the monthly clean water consumption volume for agencies, organizations, and households that discharge domestic wastewater into the drainage system, receiving sources (receiving sources are water sources that flow regularly or periodically such as rivers, streams, canals, ponds, lakes, lagoons, seas, underground aquifers) that use clean water from Sawaco's centralized water supply system.
Revenue from drainage and wastewater treatment service prices is paid into the State budget for use in investment, maintenance and development of the drainage system.
