Sharjah: New fee exemption for citizens to take affect from April 1

The Sharjah Council has issued a decision granting UAE citizens in the emirate of Sharjah an exemption from paying sewage fees.

According to a Wam report, the exemption will take effect on April 1. This resolution amends Council Decision No. (5) of 2013, which addresses municipal fees and violations in Sharjah.

The original decision set the sewage management fee at 1.5 fils per gallon of water consumption, based on the bill issued by the Sharjah Electricity, Water, and Gas Authority.

This change was announced during a meeting chaired by Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and Chairman of the Executive Council (SEC), held at the ruler’s office. The meeting also addressed other government-related issues, including business development and efforts to improve services in line with Sharjah’s comprehensive development across various sectors.
