Pulled it up online, this was 2yrs ago so it will be higher now

An older villa with central ac/s goes up to 450 BD in peak summer months. Don't forget you're also paying municipal tax. So if your rent is BD 1000, you're paying BD 100 tax. Running 4 acs in the summer + tax + water for a large garden and I've had bills as high as BD 700 but averaging out to BD 400per month for the whole year.

Municipality tax is 10% of your rent added to the EWA bill,
