ArmInfo. CJSC ‘Yerevan-jur’ has applied to the regulatory state
structure of Armenia to rise water supply tariffs by 14,3%.

As commercial manager of the company Gagik Markaryan said, they
suggest to rise the tariff up to 206,9 drams per 1 sq/m, including
water supply, drainage and sewage water treatment. The former tariff
was 181 AMD/1 sq/m. The raising is conditioned by the inflation and
dram/EUR fluctuation as well as changing of tariffs for electric power
and changing of the volume of water extraction. He also added that
in 2009 water extraction was 362,8 mln sq/m and its sale amounted to
55,5 mln. In 2010 they are going to reduce water extraction to 345
mln sq/m. The water losses in 2009 amounted to 307,3 mln sq/m. The
total of 14,1 mln were the losses of the consumers, the water-meters
of which do not reflect really used volume of water.
