The increase in the annual water and garbage bill is not an isolated incidence. I just heard of the same situation with another Canadian couple who were charged $180 and for a Panamanian paying their bill, it was $64!!! And Panamanians aren't asked for their cedula or any identification. If you "look" Panamanian you pay the lower rate. This is illegal. Someone suggested we get a group together, with our receipts, and the Panamanian receipts and talk to a lawyer in David. Boquete cannot charge what they want, let alone a different rate for gringos. If the city officials in David find out about this, there will be a big uproar. In the long run, when foreigners find out about the 'discrimination' there will be less foreigners coming to the area and some may even leave. But the bottom line is -it's WRONG!!
