What is the Bono Social del Agua?
The Bono Social del agua is a special tariff that guarantees the water supply for all households and the payment of consumption bills for families in difficulty.
This assistance is called by different names depending on the company offering it.
Each city designs its own rates and sets the requirements to access the bonuses, so there can be quite a few differences from one city to another.
