Since April, Rivneoblvodokanal has been moving to an hourly supply of low pressure water due to economically unjustified tariffs.
About it report in KP “Rivneoblvodokanal”.
“Low pressure water supply will take place in a separate hour in the afternoon, when the cost of electricity tariff is the highest and at night. We delayed this step as we could, but it cannot continue so. Prior to the hourly supply of reduced pressure, we are forced by the difficult financial situation that has developed at the enterprise because of the mismatch of our tariffs to the real economic situation. And it is not about profits, but about the water utility simply survive, ”said Acting. Director of Rivneoblvodokanal Andriy Grukhal.
According to him, now the economically justified tariff should be 57 UAH. 7 kopecks. For 1 cubic meter of water supply and sewerage (together with VAT) for all categories without exception, but for the population the current tariff remains at the pre -war level and is 32 UAH. 60 kopecks. for 1 cubic meter m with VAT. This has led to the debt of Rivneoblvodokanal has already exceeded UAH 115 million. Of these, about 70 million are electricity debt, and the remaining 45 million is the debt of the enterprise to Rivneazot for wastewater treatment.
“Since the tariffs for regional water channels in the NERCEP are not going to be raised in the near future, the only way out that will allow us to save a little to electricity, there is an hourly restriction of water supply for the population,” Hrhal said.
Meanwhile, the people’s deputy from the servant of the people Bogdan Kitsak on the air in the evening.Live warned that a similar situation will be repeated in other cities of Ukraine, since the debt of utility companies reaches tens of billions of hryvnias.
We will remind, the Ukrainian authorities in a letter of intentions to the IMF management promised to gradually increase tariffs for housing and communal services, but given the social conditions.
The National Bank of Ukraine has expected a gradual increase in utilities tariffs over the coming years. It is expected that in 2025 will begin to bring payments to “economically reasonable levels”.
