Anda to modify potable water subsidy - El Salvador

El Salvador's national aqueduct and sewerage authority Anda will modify the structure of its potable water subsidies for residential, business and industrial clients, paper La Prensa Gráfica reported.

Anda will now pay a subsidy on the first 20m3 consumed monthly. Previously, the company paid a subsidy of roughly 0.40 colones (US$0.05) for every cubic meter consumed.

"According to the World Health Organization, a family can survive on 15m3/m of consumption," Anda president Francisco José Gómez was quoted as saying.

Anda statistics show that 52.6% of the population served by the entity will be covered by the new subsidy, the report said.
