It is planned to increase the price of cold water up to 50%. In this case, a cubic metre of cold water would cost up to 6.33 litas for the residents of Vilnius and Vilnius district, Svencionys and Salcininkai. Presently, a cubic metre of cold water costs 4.22 litas for Vilniaus Vandenys clients, informs LETA/ELTA.
The National Control Commission for Prices and Energy will consider Vilniaus Vandenys' application for raising the price of cold water at the end of summer. The new price will also need the approval of Vilnius city municipal council.
