Despite rationing, Heredia residents could see 27% increase in water bills
May 10th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) Despite constant cuts in water service as the Public Service Company of Heredia (ESPH) attempts to ration the water supply, Heredia residents could see a 27% increase in their water bills beginning in June.
ESPH has submitted a request before the Public Utility Regulatory Authority (ARESEP) to make the rate hike, despite recognizing the severe water shortages suffered by residents.
Ana Carolina Mora, a spokesperson for ARESEP, confirmed that ESPH submitted the petition on May 2nd. ARESEP has one month from the time of receipt to make a decision.
