Mauritius CWA Water

The Central Water Authority is responsible for the development, control and conservation of treatment, distribution and water resources of industrial commercial and domestic purposes throughout Mauritius Island.

The Central Water Authority works under the aegisof the Ministry of Public Utilities. 

In Mauritius every consumer receives a CWA bill every month which need to be paid within 21 days of the receipt date of the bill.

Water price is very cheap compared to the water price in Europe. But for a poor Mauritian family not earning lot of money the price is is expensive.

For those who decide to reside in Mauritius coming from European countries find that the living costs are quite low.

Water is not received twenty hours a day in Mauritius, mainly during summer time, there is a lot of problem of dryness.

The CWA closes the water from morning until afternoon around 3p.m. or 4p.m.

As from this time people get water from CWA directly or else whole the water comes from a big tank thatmost of the Mauritius have which is filled with water or else it would be a big problem.
