Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo Arrais do Rosário has signed the additional clause on service fee increase of the contract extending the service supply period of Macau’s sole water distributor Macao Water Supply Co. Ltd, according to a press release issued by the Secretary’s office yesterday. The government granted a 4.28 per cent increase to MOP5.12 (US$0.64) per cubic metre of water supplied to users to the company last week, substantially lower than the 11.88 per cent requested by Macao Water in March. The government says the increase in service fee will come into effect following the day the adjustment is published in the Official Gazette. The increase will not affect the price that users pay.
