1. What Is The Kerala Water Authority Bill Calculation?

The Kerala Water Authority uses a tiered billing system where the water bill is calculated based on consumption, minimum charge, tiered rates per 1000 liters, sewer charges, and applicable taxes. This system ensures fair billing based on actual water usage.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Kerala Water Authority billing formula:

Bill = Minimum Charge + (Consumption in L × Tiered Rate per 1000 L) + Sewer + Taxes

Where:

Minimum Charge — Fixed base charge for water service
Consumption — Total water used in liters
