According to the decision, the population will pay 10 lei per one cube metre of water (6.70 lei constitutes the tariff for water itself, and 3,30 – for canalization services). Institutions and economic agents from Balti will pay 27,75 lei (14,20 – the water; 13,55 – canalization services) per one consumed cube metre of water and VAT of 20%.

This decision is not popular, but it was dictated by the situation, the mayor declared. He called the councillors to vote for the growth of the tariff.
Before the growth, the population would pay 8,38 lei for the water, and economic agents - 13,78 lei.
