EMPAGUA's water tariff and the industrial rate
- Water for industry
- Industrial water, wells and discharges
- Audited
The tariff in force since 1 Dec 2025 includes a fixed charge of Q42.56 a month plus a volumetric rate by consumption band; the 'Particulares' and 'Gobierno' tables are published as images and the figures by band cannot be extracted. The earlier reference (Feb 2024, phased in progressively over the year) for individual users was Q2.57/m³ (1-20 m³), Q4.03 (21-40), Q5.26 (41-60), Q11.07 (61-120) and Q13.83 (above 120 m³), after an increase of 24-30%. The commercial/industrial rate by band was not located: the industrial category has to be confirmed in Agreement COM-56-2023, extracted from the Diario de Centro América (21 Dec 2023) or requested from EMPAGUA (tel. 1551, number to be verified).
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
