Water A basic commodity for humans and environment! If so, Every person should have a right for water. Is the water a FREE commodity? YES, in its natural shape BUT 3
Water Supply Do we want water in its natural shape? - NO Today the right for water is to open the tap, to splash the water in the toilet, to operate an irrigation system, to connect water to the production line, to live in proper sanitary, unpolluted and healthy environment. 4
In the Middle East it is a well known reality!

Reuse of All Sewage Effluents With governmental support, sewage infrastructures have been developed and upgraded nationwide, what enabled to turn the environmental hazard to valuable resource. Reuse of 450 MCM/Y Sewage effluents for Agriculture 50% of allocations in 2014. Tertiary treatment unrestricted irrigation. New stringent standards for effluents quality (37 parameters). Nutrients and Salt Removal. Methods of agricultural cultivation in Israel are constantly modernized and innovated. Israel became an international leader in developing water saving technology in agriculture. 20

Economic Policy: Methodology for recognized costs of water suppliers 1. The Goal creating a transparent methodology for analyzing recognized costs that enable an efficient supply of water. 2. Providing resources for infrastructures needed for water supply and defining normative expenses components (& profit) essential for providing services whilst enhancing efficiency. 3. Creating regulatory environment that enables non-discriminatory consumers competition. 4. Creating regulatory environment that encourages the use of efficient water technologies.
The Reform in Water Tariffs The water tariffs were raised by approximately 40%. The principle of covering all costs providing resources for infrastructures needed for water supply and encourages water conservation. The principle of fairness or uniformity As a rule, all users of water in a given sector pay the same price, regardless of their location. 35
Water tariffs for the domestic sector: Two-block tariff system: Below 3.5 m3/person/month - the rate is USD 2.3/m3 Above 3.5 m3/person/month - the rate is USD 3.7/m3 Progressive pricing Encouraging conservation Cost recovery 36
Water tariffs for the domestic sector Since the reform in 2010: During the last two years (2014-2015) the water tariffs for the domestic use were reduced by 15%! The tariffs are in US$ per M 3 including VAT (1US$=3.5NIS) 37
Average tariff in NIS per 15 cubic meters in 2014 Tariffs for water and sewage services International comparison The water tariff in Israel covers 1.3 billion NIS for purchase of desalinated water Country 1$= 3.5 NIS 38

Principals and Goals of the Israel Water Sector Reforms Water supply is a valuable commodity. The water tariffs enable the sustainability of reliable water supply, preserving the natural water resources and keeping clean environment. Reliable water and wastewater services; infrastructure development, efficiency and high service standards. Simple and transparent regulatory system that enables development and operation of the water sector.
