Municipalities' Overdue Debts for Water Purchase and State Funding
May 27, 2025
The Interior Ministry will pay the second installment of state funding to municipalities, offsetting their overdue debts. These debts amount to €34.1 million just for water purchases from eight municipalities. The new municipalities, formed from the merger of former communities, are facing financial pressure due to these debts. Some municipalities have already signed repayment agreements to avoid cuts in funding.
