Water Prices to Rise Across Most of Bulgaria from the New Year
The largest increase — almost 14 per cent — had been approved for Kardzhali, where from 1 January the price of one cubic metre of water was due to rise to 5.19 leva.
In a response to Bulgarian National Television (BNT), the local water utility said the planned increase was due to investments in the renewal of almost the entire regional network, as well as the costs of wastewater treatment.
Despite this, water prices will remain at their current levels from 1 January, following the decision of the Ministry of Regional Development.
