Graphic of Customer Type Segmentation Rate in 2023

PPWSA divides water wholesalers into two categories: the wholesalers and wholesaler-RDE. Category 1(Type 5) are customers engaged in the business of distributing clean water to other users. This category of customers is charged the commercial tariff.. Category 2(Type 6) are representatives of communities or people in areas where PPWSA is unable to access. These representatives have to subscribe to PPWSA directly and distribute water to the communities and people in the areas, not mainly for the profit purpose. These distributors are charged the government tariff.
