In 2022-23, the deficit was $2,413.4M and the cost recovery rate was 79.3%. The Government continues to review the water tariff periodically, taking into consideration a number of factors, including affordability, financial performance of waterworks operations, the prevailing economic situation, and the views of Legislative Council members. Other than water charges, there are 25 statutory fee items stipulated in the Waterworks Regulations (Cap. 102A). The WSD periodically review these fee items in accordance with the Government-wide "user pays" principle, which aims to recover the full cost of providing services. During the year 2018-19, 25 statutory fee items have been revised effective from 29 March 2019. 用戶類別 Sector 財政年度（百萬元） Financial Year ($million) 18/19 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23 % (22/23) 商業 Trade 974 727(905) 277(828) 298(890) 301(904) 13.2(30.8) 住宅 Domestic 1,556 1,643(1,643) 1,867(1,867) 1,768(1,768) 1,678(1,678) 73.6(57.2) 政府 Government 164 172(172) 148(148) 162(162) 170(170) 7.4(5.8) 其他# Others# 187 165(182) 125(177) 128(180) 132(182) 5.8(6.2) 總收入 Total 2,881 2,707(2,902) 2,417(3,020) 2,356(3,000) 2,281(2,934) 100.0(100.0) # 包括沖廁用淡水 # Includes fresh water for flushing 括號內數字為實際水費收入加上水費寬減額。 Figures in brackets are actual water charges received plus concession. 水費收入總覽 於二零二二至二三年度，約16%住宅用戶毋須支付任何水費；40% 達到第二級水費，需繳付每單位4.16元水費；19%需繳付第三級水 費，即每單位6.45元；餘下25%需繳付第四級水費，即每單位9.05 元的水費。於二零二二至二三年度，290萬住宅用戶（包括無須繳付 水費之用戶）的每月平均水費為49元。根據政府統計處的住戶開支 統計調查，水費及排污費開支約相等於住戶每月平均開支的0.3%。 PROFILES OF THE REVENUE FROM WATER CHARGES During this financial year, about 16% of domestic customers were not required to pay water charges, 40% paid up to the tier 2 rate of $4.16 per unit, 19% paid up to the tier 3 rate of $6.45 per unit, and 25% paid up to the tier 4 rate of $9.05 per unit.
