6 Ccf (total usage) -2 Ccf (minimum bill included)=4 Ccf
Determine the volume charge.
Find the appropriate unit rate (within or outside city) and multiply it by the water amount you estimated in step 2.
What is the formula for calculating a water bill per cubic meter?
Do we have to wait for the MBWD’s meter reader to figure out how much water we use in a month? There’s no need! In fact, using basic mathematics, we can calculate our monthly water consumption. The key to understanding your household water usage is to look at your water meter. The amount you are charged each month on your water bill is determined on the reading from your water meter.
1) For starters, you might be curious in how much water you use in a day. You may calculate how much water you and your family used by comparing the two totals from your meter at the start and end of the day.
2) Checking for leaks is the second reason. Look at the leak detection indicator* on your meter after you’ve turned off all the taps and water-using appliances in your house. If it’s turning, you’ve probably got a leak someplace.
Read your meter at the same time every day for the best results. Water usage is measured in cubic meters by meters.
To figure out how much water you’ve used since your last measurement, multiply the current meter reading by the prior meter reading (from your water bill) to get the number of cubic meters utilized. If your prior reading was 001,200 and your new reading is 001,250, you have used 50 cubic meters of water since your previous reading. Because one drum equals 200 liters, 1 cubic meter is equal to 5 drums.
It is a novel Metro Bangued Water District connection installation technique in which water meters of clustered concessionaires or concessionaires whose dwellings are close together are put or clustered at just one location and share one tapping point at the District’s distribution line. Furthermore, all water meters have been set at the road’s shoulders or outside private houses. All meters that were previously set inside private lots were transferred outside the concessionaires’ grounds.
The following are the goals of water meter clustering:
- Non-revenue water will be reduced as unlawful connections and water meter theft are avoided, and the likelihood of future leaks will be reduced as tapping sites in distribution lines are vulnerable to leakage owing to wear and tear.
- During the reading period, there is easy access to the water meters.
- To avoid unpleasant situations and make disconnection activities easier to conduct.
- To avoid mishaps such as dog bites when reading meters, etc.
How can you figure out how much water you use?
Meters keep track of how much water is consumed. You may calculate how many units of water you’ve used since your last meter reading by subtracting the current measurement from the previous reading. To calculate your water consumption in dollars, multiply the units by your current water rate.
In the Philippines, how much does a cubic meter of water cost?
For the second quarter of 2021, the MWSS RO has confirmed a tariff adjustment on customers’ water bills.
Based on its examination of the Concessionaires’ FCDA proposals, the MWSS Board of Trustees (BOT) has approved the MWSS Regulatory Office’s (RO) recommendation to adopt the 2021 2nd Quarter Foreign Currency Differential Adjustment (FCDA) effective 01 April 2021.
Manila Water Company, Inc., which provides water and wastewater services in the East Zone Concession Area, will impose an FCDA of 0.84 percent of its 2021 Average Basic Charge of Php28.52 per cubic meter, or Php0.24 per cubic meter. This is a Php0.05 per cubic meter increase above the previous FCDA of Php0.19 per cubic meter.
Maynilad Water Services, Inc., which serves the West Zone Concession Area, will charge a negative 0.41 percent FCDA on its 2021 ABC of Php36.24 per cubic meter, or negative Php0.15 per cubic meter. From the prior FCDA of negative Php0.14 per cubic meter, this represents a downward adjustment of Php0.01 per cubic meter.
The FCDA is a quarterly-reviewed tariff mechanism that allows concessionaires to recover losses or give back gains due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates while making payments for foreign currency-denominated loans used to expand and upgrade water and sewerage services. It’s a correction mechanism devised by the MWSS RO to prevent under- or over-recovery as a result of currency movements.
What is the volume of a cubic meter of water?
We charge you for every cubic metre of water you consume if you have a water meter. Remember that your bill contains standing charges as well.
- Water costs less than a penny per litre.
- The price of a cubic metre is $3.08. (includes water and wastewater)
A cubic metre of water equals 1,000 litres, which is enough for 28 showers or 13 baths.
What is the formula for calculating a cubic meter?
- Width X Length (in meters) (in meter) Cubic meter Equals X Height (in meters) (m3)
- Dimensions can be expressed in meters, centimeters, inches, and feet.

What is the price of a Maynilad cubic meter in 2022?
“Yes, unless the new CA’s effective date is extended, there will be no more FCDA. We’ll look into it again if it’s still a downward adjustment, Mr. Ty added.
Manila Water and Maynilad’s amended agreements are slated to take effect on November 18, 2021. The abolition of the FCDA and the establishment of a tariff freeze until December 31, 2022 are two of the highlights.
After the MWSS Board of Trustees granted Maynilad an FCDA of -0.55 percent of its average basic rate of P36.24 per cubic meter (/cu.m.) or an average refund of 20 centavos/cu.m., customers will see cheaper water bills in the fourth quarter.
Residential Maynilad customers who use less than 10 cubic meters per month will experience an 18 centavo reduction in their monthly water costs for the quarter.
Customers who use 20 cu.m. and 30 cu.m. will see their bills drop by 69 centavos and P1.40, respectively.
“Maynilad has been given permission to execute the FCDA this quarter because the proposed downward tariff adjustment has been assessed to be very advantageous to the public, according to Mr. Ty.
To refresh your memory, the FCDA is a quarterly pricing mechanism that allows water concessionaires to recoup losses or recoup gains caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Water suppliers repay loans in foreign currencies that are used to construct and expand water and sewerage services.
Maynilad is one of three Philippine units of Hong Kong-based First Pacific Co. Ltd., the others being Philex Mining Corp. and PLDT, Inc. Metro Pacific Investments Corp., which owns a majority stake in Maynilad, is one of three Philippine units of Hong Kong-based First Pacific Co. Ltd., the others being Philex Mining Corp. and PLDT, Inc.
Through the Philippine Star Group, which it controls, Hastings Holdings, Inc., a unit of PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, Inc., owns a stake in BusinessWorld.

What does m3 represent when it comes to water consumption?
The water meter keeps track of the amount of water you consume in cubic metres (m3). 1000 gallons per cubic metre equates to 13 baths, 14 washing machine loads, 28 showers, 33 dishwasher loads, or 111 toilet flushes!
Your charge is calculated depending on how many cubic metres of water you have consumed since your last meter reading.
