The additional rate in water and sewerage service fee of the Boracay Island
Water Company (BIWC) has been approved by the Tourism Infrastructure Enterprise
and Zoning Authority (TIEZA-RO).
This was learned from a message sent by, and later confirmed by the BIWC
COO, Ben Mañosca thru a live
radio interview on Tuesday, January 15.
The message also wanted consumers and businessmen in the island, connected
to the BIWC, to know that the tariff was published on well known newspapers on
the same day.
This means that the rate increase from the BIWC will push thru.
However, unlike the thirty five (35) percent proposed increase, to start on the
beginning of the year, the company sided with the appeal of stakeholders during
the public hearing held by TIEZA in December 2012 to stagger or slowly increase
rate.
Meanwhile, the new rate in water and sewerage service fee will be felt
fifteen (15) days after being published on newspapers and made known to the
public, and this will be possibly by the month of February of the current year.
