completed the mechanism for monthly billing for all regions of the Kingdom,
said ministry spokesperson Omar Salama.
Salama stated that the new billing
system will be implemented by the end of March 2023, replacing the current
practice of issuing bills every three months.
He added that monthly billing has
already been implemented in some regions, such as Aqaba Governorate and some
other areas.

emphasized that changing the billing mechanism to monthly does not mean an
increase in the prices of bills.
He confirmed that "water prices
will not be raised" for subscribers, and the current tariff will remain
unchanged.
The main goal of modifying the
billing system is to reduce water loss and monitor water consumption monthly by
the ministry and citizens.
According to Salama, every three
months, there are some problems and imbalances regarding objections, renewals,
and the cost of bills for citizens.
