Key points
- New utility rates effective January 2027
- Price hike attributed to rising operational costs
- Kharkiv rates remain below the national average
Kharkiv municipal authorities have announced an update to the pricing structure for water utility services provided by the "Kharkiv Heating Networks" enterprise. The new rates are scheduled to take effect at the beginning of 2027.
Under the approved plan, the tariff for water supply will rise to 57.50 UAH per cubic meter, while sewage services will cost 27.99 UAH per cubic meter. These figures replace the current rates of 48.63 UAH and 20.61 UAH, respectively.
Department of Economy officials stated that the adjustment is a necessary measure driven by rising operational costs. Key factors cited include the increased expenses for electricity, materials, and chemical agents required for water treatment.
The city administration highlighted that even with this hike, the total cost for water services in Kharkiv remains competitive compared to other major Ukrainian cities. Municipal data suggests that consumers in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Lviv will continue to face higher utility charges than residents of Kharkiv.
