Summary Dataset: Water and Sanitation Tariffs in Latin America

By Water and Sanitation Division (VPS/INE/WSA)

Water and Sanitation Tariff Dataset

This dataset, created by the Knowledge team in the IDB’s Water and Sanitation Division, compiles publicly available information to compare tariff systems and subsidies across Latin America and the Caribbean.

It includes data on:

  • Residential drinking water and sanitation tariffs
  • Subsidies
  • Tariff types
  • Metering
  • Other sector details

The dataset has been simplified and published through the Water and Sanitation Observatory (OLAS) to support its mission of providing consistent, reliable, and updated data for understanding the sector at both national and regional levels—aligned with SDG 6.

For a deeper dive into the process and key trends, see: How Much Do Households Pay for Water Supply and Sanitation Services in Latin America? A Descriptive Analysis of Tariffs and Subsidies in the Region.
