Median water prices did not change from April to May in all but Balcad District. In Balcad District, the median water price decreased by 49%, from 39 to 20 USD cents. This was mainly attributed to an increase in water supply due to ongoing rains. Seventy-six percent (76%) of assessed water points in Eyl, 44% in Baidoa and 20% in Afgooye do not have their water treated at the distribution point. In Eyl District, 85% of those water points that reportedly do not have their water treated at the distribution point are categorised as unimproved water sources.

May data collection was conducted through a quantitative survey entailing phone calls to water point administrators between 28 May - 11 June in 12 districts. Within these districts, target areas were identified based on availability of partners and accessibility. Only those water points that charge for water in these target areas were assessed. All prices are shown in United States Dollar (USD) cents for 90L of water. This is the daily amount used by a household of six members, consuming the minimum SPHERE standard of 15L water per person per day. Price changes are subject to exchange rate.

Assessed water points by water treatment:
1. Exchange rates presented here are averages of exchange rates reported by key informants (water points administrators). 2. Reported water points types were recategorised into either unimproved or improved sources based on UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) and WHO (World Health Organization) Joint Monitorng Programme ladder for water. 3. This is based on whether a water point does or does not function well throughout the year due to problems such as broken pipes, broken generators, lack of fuel among others. 4. Median price is calculated by first determining the median price of water at each water point, then taking the resulting median price of the water points aggregated at the district level. 5. Key informants could select multiple responses. 6. This is based on the estimated number of households that access a water point on a daily basis. 7. In some districts, the minimum, median and maximum prices were equal.
