The aim is to have sufficient time for gradual adaptation after the introduction of the euro
There will be no increase in the price of water after the New Year.

The aim is to allow sufficient time for gradual adjustment following the introduction of the euro.
Yesterday, the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission approved the permissible water prices, in line with the investments made to improve the quality and security of water supply.
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.
