Water Tariif Will Remain Unchanged for Private Citizens in Yerevan

Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) of the Republic of Armenia came to the decision that the water tariif for one cubic meter of water supplied by Yerevan Jur (Water) company from July 8 on will be 195 AMD instead of the previous 181 AMD.

But the good news is that the Yerevan City Hall will subsidize the water price for 14 AMD only for private citizens which means that they will pay the current price – 181 AMD.

Interestingly, Yerevan Jur was proposing to raise the price for 1 cubic meter by 14% which would see the price go up to 207 AMD. But by studying different factors that may affect the water price, such as the scale of the water sold, inflation, euro-dollar exchange rate fluctuations, PSRC considered the proposal unfounded and came to the conclusion that the above mentioned factors might not result in 26 AMD rise in water price but rather in 14 AMD.
