The Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) has begun reviewing the National Water Commission’s (NWC) application for a five-year tariff adjustment, which includes a proposed initial average increase of approximately 54.9 per cent. The application covers the 2026-2031 period and seeks to address what the NWC says is a significant gap between its operating costs and revenue generated under existing rates.
