In the Kochubeyivska community, they plan to increase the water tariff.
This was reported on the Kochubeyivska community website.
The municipal enterprise «Innovator» announced its intention to change tariffs for centralized water supply for all consumer groups. The main reason given for the adjustment is the rapid increase in the cost of electricity.
It is noted that the current tariffs, set back in 2019, are now unprofitable. For comparison: the existing calculations use the old price for electricity, whereas in March 2026 it reached 14.54 UAH/kWh, and in April — already 16.93 UAH/kWh.
The enterprise states that the adjustment is a forced measure to pay salaries, purchase fuel and lubricants, and pay taxes.
Instead of a branched tariff system (which previously ranged from 11 to 15 UAH depending on the village), it is proposed to establish a single planned tariff – 37.00 UAH per 1 m³ (excluding VAT).
For households without meters, billing will be calculated according to consumption norms (4 m³ per person) with the application of an increasing coefficient (1.5):
- Total volume per person — 6 m³.
- Monthly charge — 222.00 UAH per person.
The changes will affect residents of the following settlements: Kochubeyivka, Svitlivka, Mykilske, Orlove, Nova Shestirnya, Rivnopillia, Zahradivka, Pryhiria, Svobodne, Kamianka and Krasnivka.
Note that at the end of March 2026 the review of water supply tariffs also began in the Chornobaivska community.
