About the 5th RR PCDr:
The MWSS RO is the government agency that regulates the two (2) water Concessionaires: Manila Water Company, Inc. and Maynilad Water Services, Inc., as mandated by the 1997 Concession Agreement (CA).
The MWSS RO conducts a Rate Rebasing Exercise every five years pursuant to the CA entered into by the MWSS with Manila Water and Maynilad. Rate Rebasing is a periodic performance review and general tariff adjustment that sets the maximum rates that the Concessionaires may charge for their services.
Prior to the determination of the rates, the MWSS RO, in cooperation with its’ Concessionaires and representatives from customer groups and other stakeholders, holds a Rate Rebasing Public Consultation Drive (PCDr) to gather valuable inputs with respect to current and future water and sanitation and sewerage developments and plans within Maynilad and Manila Water Service Areas. The PCDr also aims to provide a venue for discussion and addressing prevailing gender-related issues and concerns of stakeholders on water, sewerage and sanitation services and for exploring good practices in providing gender-responsive services.
