Bogotá sewer bills surge up to 43%; utility cites new national tariff rule

Bogotá's water utility (Acueducto) attributes sharp sewer bill increases—up to 43% and exceeding $500,000 for some stratum-2 households—to a new national tariff methodology. The claim is corroborated by the utility but disputed by local councilor Tata Hernández, who questions the methodology's impact on low-income users. This signals potential political and social friction over utility pricing in Colombia's capital.
