The revision of water and sewage fees
A proposal concerning the revision of water and sewage fees was submitted to the City Council in June 2024 and passed as originally drafted. Here is an overview of the proposal and the revised fee table.
[1] Average revision fee
Water Usage Fee:9.00%
Sewage Usage Fee:19.71%
Aggregate revision fee:13.50%
The "average revision fee" refers to the fee that shows how much the total amount of expected revenue during the billing period will increase or decrease compared to before and after the revision.
The fee list is adjusted in 1 yen increments for each unit so that the total amount of revenue can be secured based on this average revision fee, so it does not necessarily mean that the average revision fee will be the same for all water usage amounts.
[2] Date of fee revision
Starting from April 2025 meter readings
*Since regular meter readings are conducted once every two months and the timing of meter readings (even-numbered months and odd-numbered months) differ by area, the new fees will be calculated on a pro-rata basis for rates that extend beyond the effective date (April 1, 2025) so that there will be no difference in the timing of application of the new fees depending on the timing of the meter reading.
[3] Other changes
The unit price of charges will be changed from 10 yen units to 1 yen units.
