Water, sanitation and waste are increasingly burdensome: bill exceeds 45 euros in Greater Porto municipalities

CNN Portugal2 September 2026 at 07:20

As families in Greater Porto municipalities face a growing bill for water, sanitation and waste collection, which exceeds 45 euros. This value represents a significant burden on the household budget of residents in the region.

The situation, although still a cause for concern, showed improvements compared to the previous year. This positive evolution suggests that some measures implemented by local authorities may be taking effect in the management of these essential services.

The theme was highlighted by the Press Review, which drew attention to the financial pressure that these costs represent for families in the Greater Porto region.

One year after the start of negotiations, the Portuguese Government continues to negotiate the handover of the Palácio do Manteigueiro, known as Horta Seca, to CIP (Confederation of Portuguese Industry), for an extended period. The property, which housed the Ministry of Economy for decades in Lisbon, is of interest to the confederation, but the handover is dependent on "obligations" that CIP must fulfill — obligations that the executive refuses to reveal, feeding opaqueness around the process.
