Water and sanitation
The Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios (Superservicios) and industry group Andesco are debating reductions in remuneration rates within the new tariff framework for drinking water and basic sanitation services. Rates will drop from 12.28% to 8.58% for large companies and from 12.76% to 9.1% for small ones. Superintendent Felipe Durán Carrón defends the change to prevent passing inefficient costs to users, while Andesco warns of risks to investment and service quality.

Colombia's Water Regulation Commission (CRA), Housing Ministry, and Superservicios unveiled a new tariff framework for drinking water and basic sanitation affecting 5,000 providers. The change excludes projected investments from tariffs, billing only those completed year-to-year. Andesco raised concerns over the lack of a transition period and potential tariff hikes.
