New added charge to water rates

The unanimous decision to modify the pricing policy for the year we are in now, and in regards to charges for water supply and irrigation recently took place with the water board’s directors, which means that consumers will see their accounts rising due to the charge with a new fee in favor of the Green Fund. With regard to Zakynthos, Kefalonia and Ithaca, the annual unit cost is EUR 0,00046 per cubic meter for water and 0,01063 for irrigation.

After receiving a document by the Coordinator Decentralized management Decentralized Administration, concerning the obligation to impose a fee which was published a year ago and in short, imposing a tax on dues to finance conservation and water management projects. Finally, water is also shared and irrigated, and of course it is imposed as an extra – albeit small – a burden for consumers whom of which will find the added extra in their accounts!

In particular, the Joint Ministerial Decision provides for the municipalities to determine their tariffs in accordance with the General Pricing Rules in the first semester of each year, taking into account, in addition to financial costs, both the Environmental Cost and the Resource Cost. In their invoices, they must commit to the Environmental Fee in a distinct and clear way. They will be collecting the Environmental Fee from users. The amount of the environmental charges received is paid by the Green Fund providers to a Special Account set up to finance the relevant ADP’s Supplementary Measures. From the above amount, 2.5% is withheld from the providers for the provision of related services except for multi-venture sewerage companies.
