From RM8 to RM10 as what i've been told by their operator after finding out why my Indah water bill has increased..

Is this something is reasonable for a sewage service to increase their price for that much of a sudden? RM2 may not seem that much, but my total bill gone from RM45 to RM60 - A ridiculous 33% increment for a service that nobody can opt out of.

What kind of work do they do specifically that cause so much i must ask...

When i asked what's the reason for increment, they just said because they haven't increased it in years... 
Is there any price regulation for this kind of thing?

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 27 — The tariff for connected sewerage services and emptying septic tanks for the domestic category in peninsular Malaysia and Labuan will be streamlined and subjected to additional charges, starting from Jan 1 next year and Oct 1, 2022, respectively.

The Ministry of Environment and Water (Kasa), in a statement today, said the matter was decided at a Cabinet meeting last April 20.

"This tariff adjustment will involve an increase of between RM5 to RM8 per month for the service of emptying of septic tanks with effect from Oct 1, 2022. For connected services, there will be a small increase of RM2 per month with effect from Jan 1, 2023," it said.

According to the ministry, targeted assistance will be provided to ease the people’s burden by giving rebates to those registered with the E-Kasih programme.

It said the average cost per month for providing connected sewerage services is RM17 compared to the current tariff rate which is between RM2 and RM8, while the actual cost of the septic tank emptying service is RM22 per month compared to the current tariff rate of between RM2 and RM6 per month.

“This (new) tariff rate is also lower compared to other utility service tariffs, such as electricity supply, telecommunications and Internet broadband,” it said.

Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd (IWK) is the national sewerage company that provides connected sewerage services and emptying individual septic tanks, as well as ensures public sewage treatment plants (LRK) and national sewerage assets operate well and are well maintained to reduce the risk of pollution to the environment.

According to Kasa, since the sewerage service was taken over by IWK in 1994, that is 28 years ago, the sewerage tariff has never been reviewed and has affected IWK’s cash flow where the income cannot cover its operating costs which increases every year.

“This has affected the sustainability of the country’s sewerage sector as a whole. The adjustment of sewerage service tariff rates is important to ensure a sustainable sewerage service industry.

“This move will enable IWK to provide an effective and efficient service. The increasingly stable financial position allows IWK to finance maintenance and repair works, in addition to daily operating costs,” it said.

The ministry expressed its confidence that with the experience and expertise possessed by IWK, it would be able to ensure a more systematic management of the operation and maintenance of sewerage assets and the compliance of treated effluent according to the set standards.

“This will simultaneously reduce sewage pollution on water sources and supports environmental sustainability,” it said. — Bernama

tldr: iwk treats all your sewage and purify the waste before sent back to river again for sustainable water resource. well u can complain but many din even pay when they are cheap while pouring stuff like diaper, maggi mee down, shoe down ur sewage. that's why they got suggestion to merge iwk with water bill

Even our shiietz costs more to handle now due to infllation....aduii!!!

is it to due rise of minimumm gaji for angkat berak?...

Every time you flush your toilet, wash your hands, take a bath, wash your clothes etc etc all the dirty water are treated so that it is safe for the environment. I don't think it's too much for RM10/month.

Fun facts, the real cost of your IWK is the 1% KWSMP (contribution cost) developers paid during the construction of your pripertoes.

Said your properties are worth 1M, you already paid RM10k of contribution cost for it.

RM2 per month increase also want to complain?

Install your own septic tank if you want to DIY, see how many years need ROI vs RM10/month.

If your household has 4 person, is 15 per head for 6 months and is only 8 sen per day to shit all you want .... 'buffet style'. And if single, is 30 sen, couple is 15 sen..

Seems that in Jan 2024 the monthly fee has increased extra RM 2. (from 10 to 12)
Just checked my account and the amount is RM 72.

The bill is not yet ready (until end of the month).

they are unsung hero bro, they deserve more, try ask local to do this job for 75 years.

My bill came 2 weeks ago, RM 72 for 6 months.

Yes. And 2026 will increase another RM3 to become RM15.

i havent receive any iwk bill for few year

Previously RM10/month. Bill comes out once in 6 month, hence RM120/year.

Now RM12/month, hence RM144/year.

Water bill, RM6/month.

I wouldn't mind.

Indah water is like a living dinosaur. I have a condo at Miharja, everytime I tell them the address, they will say not found in system or wrong owner name. and so for many many years i have never received indah water bill. can I know how do i get the Sewarage account if I do not have the bill ?

I am paying RM 26 per month.
My water bill is RM10

SOVO, Bulk water meter under Management.

This is called ridiculous...

is it on commercial lot?

Originally Selangor promote S0HO, SoFo Sovo etc due to RM300K properties demand... But the aftermath is pain in the ash.
Cukai taksiran ~RM1K per year and everything under commercial.

Then cukai Petak replace cukai tanah..huhu RM 20j become RM 200+

Thanks to short slighted ruler of that time

Previously RM10/month. Bill comes out once in 6 month, hence RM120/year.

Now RM12/month, hence RM144/year.

Water bill, RM6/month.

I wouldn't mind.

Your water will be would now be RM6.50/month minimum.

Oh, you’re right. I didn’t notice the 50 cents.

If you are super anal about this, you have to use your water ngam-ngam (if my math is correct, it should be 10m3), so that it gets almost the same usage as the minimum price.
In your case, you are making a 'loss' hahahah

is iwk no longer sending softcopy bill to email?

aih pundek increase again in 2026... pity those retired la weih..

Did you all notice Indah Water is actively advertising in Radio by telling what they have done so far in these 30 years and ask if you have paid the bills?

Yes, I hear it everyday on Chinese radio stations.

How to actually change ownership for IWK account online? Should the previous owner or new owner initiate the change? Will the bill paid by previous owner be refunded / pro-rated?

Who says that nobody cannot opt out of IWK?

Can what - build your own toilet beside the river, can save you RM10/mth.
