Pervomaisk plans to sign a cooperation agreement with UNICEF worth 12.2 million hryvnias to reconstruct the centralised water supply system in one of its neighbourhoods.

The relevant draft decision has been published on the website of the Pervomaisk City Council. It is to be considered by the deputies at a session meeting.

The agreement with the international organisation is to be concluded by the Housing and Communal Services Department of the Pervomaisk City Council. It is noted that the funds are intended to support internally displaced children and children in host communities to ensure access to sufficient clean drinking water and improved sanitation.

As a reminder, Pervomaisk City Council members failed to vote to cancel the decision to increase the cost of water supply.

In March, the executive committee approved an increase in the cost of services provided by Pervomaisk Water and Sewerage Department. According to the decision, the tariff for water increased by 13.73 hryvnias (i.e., by 32.3%); for sewage — by 10.48 hryvnias (40.7%). Thus, from 1 April, centralised water supply services will cost 56.23 hryvnias, and centralised sewerage services will cost 36.18 hryvnias.
