What are the rates for water and electricity?

The rates for water and electricity provided by the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority can vary based on several factors, including the customer's location, type of service, and usage. Generally, the water rates are structured to reflect both a base charge and a variable charge based on consumption. This means that customers pay a fixed amount for access to water services and additional costs based on the amount of water consumed during a billing period. Electricity rates are typically expressed in terms of cost per kilowatt-hour used. Like water rates, electricity charges can differ depending on usage, the time of year, and the type of customer account. There may also be different pricing tiers for residential and commercial customers. For the most current and specific rates, it is advisable for customers to consult the official VIWAPA website. The website often contains detailed information regarding the latest rate schedules, adjustments, and any applicable fees. It is also a good resource for understanding the factors influencing these rates and any programs that may be available for energy conservation.
