After Yerevan Djur CJSC was transferred to concessional management of
Generale des Eaux (France), the water losses in Yerevan made up 83%
in Yerevan in 2009, a year later - 85%, and according to the data of
the latest surveys, the water losses make up 86.2%, Armen Poghosyan,
President of the Consumers' Union NGO, told journalists in Yerevan
on May 16.
He said that according to the latest data, a total of 5210 consumers
are registered in Yerevan, who do not pay for water. He added that
before 2009 the water price should have been maintained at 144 AMD
per 1 cu m, and after 2009 it should have been reduced to 95 AMD.
However, Poghosyan said that the quality of the water does not improve,
while the price keeps growing. According to Poghosyan, today Armenia
has water pipelines, which are registered nowhere. In addition, such
places as saunas and car washes have not been completely studied yet.
To recall, Yerevan Djur CJSC is a resident of Armenia. It was founded
by Veolia Generale des Eaux (France).
