ArmInfo. Armvodokanal CJSC managed by French Saur, has applied to the
Public Services Regulatory Commission for raising the water tariff
by 10.3% starting April 2009.
The company proposes raising the tariff to 154,47 drams inclusive of
VAT as against the present 140 drams. Armvodokal supplies water to
consumers outside Yerevan.
Last year, Director General of Armvodokanal CJSC Patrick Lorin declared
that water control was still the most painful issue for the company
since only 8 of 100 liters of drinking water supplied to the regions
of Armenia is paid for. The remaining part is technical and commercial
losses. P. Lorin said that there were too many illegal connections
to water pipelines in villages which were out of control.
