Increased Fees in Local Governance
March 12, 2025
The president of the Famagusta District Municipality Organization, Giannis Karousos, stated that the reforms in local governance will not reduce costs for citizens. Instead, there has been a 7.5% increase in water charges to cover costs and make necessary investments. Additionally, there are plans to implement uniform fees across all municipal divisions. The organization is struggling with a high water loss rate, reaching 37%.
