The Nicosia Water Board has announced that the fixed cost of drinking water is set to increase to 11 euros for every 2 months, starting the 1st of November.
The Board explained how the increase had to be made to make sure the water-supply infrastructure of Nicosia can be properly maintained as needed.
The announcement further added that the water network of the island nation’s capital is long overdue for an upgrade – and that said upgrades require a boost in the budget, which can only be done by increasing the prices.
The last price hike was done in September 2017.
