                    [Summary] => Water rates in Metro Manila will not be increased until next week.


The Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) has put on hold for at least a week any price hike until it has resolved differences with the two water concessionaires, Manila Water Co. (MWC) and Maynilad Waters Services Inc. (MWSI).

MWSS Deputy Administrator Macra Cruz said the regulatory agency was supposed to issue a resolution yesterday allowing an increase in water rates next month but they could not agree with MWC and MWSI on how much should be charged the public.
