Water tariffs in Azerbaijan do not fully cover the actual costs of the United Water Supply Service of Large Cities, Aydin Abbasov, Adviser to the Chairman of the Service's Board, told journalists, APA-Economics reports.
He explained that although the cost of delivering 1 cubic meter of water to consumers is 1 AZN 91 gapik, the current tariff is only 70 gapik: "This hinders rapid development in the water supply sector. Therefore, the issue of differentiating the tariff system may be brought to the agenda."
