This summer, citizens of Yerevan will most probably pay 206 drams
for 1 cubic meter of water instead of the previous 181 drams.
Trade director of "Yerevan Water" Company Gagik Margaryan informed that
the company had appealed to the Public Services Regulatory Commission
to increase the price for water supply and disposal by 25 drams,
but the appeal will be examined in May. If the appeal is upheld,
water prices will be increased by 14 percent.
Why are prices going up? Gagik Margaryan did not link that to the gas
price inflation. He brought up four reasons for the impact on prices.
"The four reasons are the change of sold water volumes, inflation,
shifts in the Euro-Dollar exchange rates and the predictable inflation
of energy prices."
