On February 6, news from the People's Committee of Can Tho City said that Mr. Duong Tan Hien, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Can Tho City, signed a decision on regulating the price of clean water for daily life in 2024 in the area.
Accordingly, the price of clean water consumption in urban and rural areas provided by water supply companies is divided into 4 groups. The price includes value added tax, excluding environmental protection fee for domestic wastewater.
According to new regulations, the price of clean water in Can Tho increases for all customers.
Group 1: In urban areas, the price for poor households with land use certificates is 5,640 VND/ m3 , and for households with land use certificates is 9,020 VND/ m3 . In rural areas, the price applied to these two customer groups is 4,820 VND/ m3 and 8,240 VND/ m3 respectively.
With this regulation, Can Tho has eliminated the method of calculating clean water prices by steps, based on the amount of water used in a month. That means whether using a lot or a little, households only pay a single price, instead of calculating according to 4 steps with prices from 5,500 - 8,700 VND/ m3 as before.

Urban areas apply a price of 11,170 VND/ m3 ; rural areas apply 9,310 VND/ m3 (previous price for both areas was 8,000 VND).
Group 3: Regulations for organizations and individuals producing materials. Urban areas apply a price of 12,400 VND/ m3 ; rural areas apply 9,930 VND/ m3 (previous price was 8,900 VND/ m3 ).
Group 4: applies to organizations and individuals doing business and providing services. Urban areas: 15,580 VND/ m3 ; rural areas 11,520 VND/ m3 (previous price 11,100 VND/ m3 ).
Meanwhile, the price of domestic water in urban and rural areas provided by the Center for Clean Water and Rural Environmental Sanitation is divided into 2 groups. Group 1: applies the price of 4,000 VND/ m3 to poor households with land certificates, households donating land, and policy families (families of Vietnamese heroic mothers, families of war invalids, and families of martyrs). Group 2 includes households and other groups of subjects, with the price of 7,450 VND/ m3 .
The decision of the People's Committee of Can Tho City also clearly states that the maximum rate of adjustment for clean water price increase is 2.8%/year. Every year, water supply units must proactively review the implementation of clean water plans and clean water prices for the following year in accordance with the provisions of Article 4, Circular No. 44/2021 of the Minister of Finance .
