Annual plan unanimously approved - water rates rise less
On Wednesday, 27 November, the Board of Directors unanimously adopted the Annual Plan (budget) for 2025.
Adopted amendment
An amendment to withdraw €1 million more than proposed from the reserves in order to mitigate rising water rates also received unanimous support.
This decision will result in a total of €2 million being withdrawn from the reserves for 2025. This will slightly reduce the increase in water rates in the coming year.
- The average increase for households was initially 7.1%. Now, water rates are rising by an average of 6.1%.
- An average family with a home they own will now pay €36 more in 2025 than in 2024.
- A family living in a rented property pays €24 more than last year. A single tenant pays €13 more.
