Armenia Yerevan

This summer, citizens of Yerevan will most probably pay 206 drams for 1 cubic meter of water instead of the previous 181 drams.

Trade director of "Yerevan Water" Company Gagik Margaryan informed that the company had appealed to the Public Services Regulatory Commission to increase the price for water supply and disposal by 25 drams, but the appeal will be examined in May. If the appeal is upheld, water prices will be increased by 14 percent.

In my experience not many Armenian houses receive water and there is absolutely no reason to increase the water prices. If every house received water then it would have been fine to increase water pricing.
