Cost For Load Of Water To Increase To $120
The Bermuda Water Trucker’s Association [BWTA] announced that the cost for a load of water is set to increase to $120, effective 1st June 2022.
The industry cited “absorbing rapidly increasing costs, having held the rate with no increase to the consumer throughout the pandemic, and since 2017.”
While I understand cost to do business in Bermuda is going up I do believe Burt fought to stop the increase in gas/diesel so this shouldn’t be higher and water trucks get their pickups from underground lenses which I assume wouldn’t go up. Can someone explain why the price has gone from average $95/100 a load up to $120? I understand inflation but just want to understand the rationale for such a massive increase?
Cost of everything else going up. Maintenance, parts, salaries, insurance, their cost of living.
Let it rain…
