Water: Billed water consumption
What is the trend in billed water consumption?
The main water producer in the Maltese islands is the Water Services Corporation (WSC), which supplies potable water originating from desalination and groundwater abstraction. The domestic sector is by far the major consumer of this water, utilising 74per cent of the water produced by WSC in 2006. Between 2005 and 2006 a decrease in billed water by the domestic sector was observed. Furthermore, households consumed two per cent less billed potable water between the years under review in this period.
