Water bills may need to rise to secure service improvements warns Regulator PN 7/2011 Date: 14.11.2011

WATER BILLS MAY NEED TO RISE TO SECURE SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS WARNS REGULATOR   Water bills may have to rise from January next year the Water and Waste Regulatory Office (WWRO) warned today. WWRO is currently in discussions with the seven regional water suppliers (RWCs) to finalise tariffs which will apply for the three years from 1 January 2012. The water regulator will be announcing the tariffs within the next month that will apply to water and wastewater services provided by the seven regional water companies throughout Kosovo. WWRO said that the number of complaints from customers about poor service had increased during the last year. If customers are to receive a better water and wastewater service then the tariffs will need to be set at higher levels to generate money for investment. At the same time the water companies must be prepared to increase their efficiency and carry out the investment for which customers will be paying. In July WWRO published its annual performance report which showed that in 2010 the performance of the RWCs had worsened. Water losses have increased compared to the previous year. Water supply in many regions is not continuously. The frequency of failures in water supply and the ...

IMPROVED REVENUE COLLECTION IS ESSENTIAL FOR BETTER WATER SERVICES SAYS WATER REGULATOR PN1/07 Date 18/12/2007

IMPROVED REVENUE COLLECTION IS ESSENTIAL FOR BETTER WATER SERVICES SAYS WATER REGULATOR     If water companies are to deliver improved services to customers they must put more effort into collecting money owed by customers. But customers also have to play their part. They have to pay their water bills. Afrim Lajci, Director of the Water and Waste Regulatory Office (WWRO) speaking in Pristina today said:     “Our job is to protect customers’ interests in an industry where they have no choice about who they buy their water from. We do this by ensuring that the water companies provide customers with an acceptable service at a fair price. During last summer’s drought many customers experienced unacceptable supply interruptions. There is still a need to conserve water.     “Part of the solution lies with the companies themselves. They must make a greater effort to improve their billing and collection procedures. However, far too many customers think they don’t have to pay their bills. This cannot continue. Customers have an obligation and duty to pay bills. WWRO will support companies in cutting off customers who do not pay.   &...
