The monthly bill for water, sanitation and urban waste collection and treatment services in Portugal can vary very significantly between municipalities. According to the available information, the difference can be almost five times higher, depending on the municipality where the consumer lives.
This disparity occurs even when the consumption level of users is exactly the same. This means that families with identical water, sanitation and waste management needs may face substantially different costs simply due to their geographic location.
The article does not specify which municipalities have the highest or lowest prices, nor does it indicate the official sources of this comparative analysis. The concrete bill amounts or the criteria used for the comparison are also not presented.
