As of July 20, 2025, Deputy Government Spokesperson Lalida Perjaiwiwattana announced that the government has opened registration for qualified beneficiaries of the 2025 State Welfare Card to claim reduced water utility rates, effective immediately. The subsidy covers up to 100 baht per household monthly. Each household (address) qualifies for one benefit only. If the water bill exceeds 100 baht but does not exceed 315 baht, beneficiaries pay only the amount above the subsidy. Bills exceeding 315 baht must be paid in full by the cardholder.
Existing beneficiaries from the 2565 program who meet 2569 qualifications can register July 20-25 and will see support on their August water bill, reflected in the September statement. New eligible beneficiaries who have completed identity verification can register July 20 through September 25 and will receive support for October water usage, shown on their November bill. Neither group can claim retroactive benefits.
Eligible individuals can self-register through three channels: the Provincial Waterworks Authority website (www.pwa.co.th), the PWA Plus Life app, or the LINE Official Account @PWAThailand. Registration is also available through staff at Provincial Waterworks Authority branches nationwide. During the registration window (July 20 – September 30, 2025), services operate daily from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM, including holidays, to accommodate the public.
