Water pricing in Palestine

The Municipalities and regional water authorities set and collect water tariffs for domestic use. Water fees for domestic water supply vary considerably among different localities. Tariffs ranged from US$ 0.15-0.2 to US$ 1.0-1.2. Differences are partly due to the level of services, water availability and distribution costs. In Dura and Ramallah area for example where water tariffs are highest, water is conveyed long distances and/or pumped from deep wells. In Qalqiliya and Jericho, where water tariffs are lowest, water is available in shallow wells (Qalqiliya) and/or springs (Jericho) at low pumping cost.



Some localities in the North and due to frequent and periodic water shortages (some areas report receiving water only a few hours per day) purchase water by tankers. Such localities are paying US$ 5/m3 of the additional purchased water. In some localities also water meters are not installed and the price of water remains unaffected by actual water consumption.
