In Poland, tariffs for water and sewerage have increased everywhere. The scale of increases has reached several tens of percent.
So, since July, Wroclaw residents have been paying 19.5% more. The highest price increase was recorded in the municipality of Geraltowice in the powiat of Gliwice, where the price increase was almost 27%.
"The growth has arisen as a result of inflation and rising prices for energy, fuel, consumables and repair services, which leads to the costs of collective water supply and wastewater treatment. We understand that the increase in charges for water and sewerage is an additional burden for residents in these difficult times," said Valery Tankevich, president of the public utility "Pevik Gdynia".
Leszek Swentalski, director of the office of the Association of Rural Self-Governments of Poland, continued that "we have reached a situation in which it is no longer possible to talk about a smooth response to rising costs."
Blame Russia further.
