•
The Government has continuously pushed for full cost realization of water tariffs by raising water tariffs by at least 10% every year since
1995. A water tariff freeze was imposed by the Government in 2005 in order to offset inflation on cost of basic necessities
• Tariff was raised by 4.9% in January 2013 and further by 4.8% in September 2016
Current
Status
• After the tariff increase in 2016, revenue in 2017 increased by KRW 81 bn
Outlook
• The Government continues to focus on setting water tariffs to fully recover costs
• According to the "Mid-to Long-term Financial Plan of Public Entities" published by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, public utility tariffs
will be raised in order to improve public institutions' financial structure
• In line with the plan, K-water will strive to raise multi-regional and dam water tariffs to achieve sufficient cost recovery
• Regardless of changes in tariffs, K-water anticipates sustained revenue growth from an increase in demand
