In Istanbul, in addition to the monthly increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Domestic Producer Price Index (D-PPI), an additional 10% increase was made.

The second session of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) Council's May meetings was held at the municipality building in Saraçhane, chaired by the Deputy Chairman of the Council, Gökhan Gümüşdağ. During the meeting, the tariff proposal regarding the water sales and the cost of wastewater disposal was discussed at the ISKI General Assembly.

A 10% INCREASE IN NETWORK WATER IN ISTANBUL

In line with the decision taken at the IMM Council's November meeting, it was requested to implement an additional 10% increase, apart from the increase applied based on the result of dividing the sum of CPI and D-PPI by two. The proposal was accepted by a majority vote.

In the proposal that includes the request for a 10% increase in IMM's water prices, it was requested that the current price of 42.37 lira per cubic meter in the first tier for households consuming between 0-15 cubic meters be increased to 46.62 lira, the price in the second tier for up to 30 cubic meters from 64.58 lira to 71.04 lira, and the price in the third tier for 31 cubic meters and above from 93.40 lira to 102.75 lira.

For workplaces, it was requested that the price of 111 lira per cubic meter in the first tier for 0-15 cubic meters be increased to 122.10 lira, the price in the second tier for 16-50 cubic meters from 117.52 lira to 129.30 lira, the price in the third tier for 51-100 cubic meters from 144.46 lira to 158.91 lira, and the price for consumption of 101 cubic meters and above in the fourth tier be increased from 151.03 lira to 166.14 lira.

In the proposal for the increased tariff, which will be valid from June 1, it was stated, "The unit prices for water and wastewater in this table are valid for June 2025. The unit prices for water and wastewater will be updated every month at the rate of 'Consumer Price Index (CPI) + Domestic Producer Price Index (D-PPI) / 2' announced monthly by TURKSTAT after June 2025. The new tariff will be implemented within a maximum of 3 business days following the announcement of the monthly CPI and D-PPI data by TURKSTAT."

The proposal for the water price increase voted on in the council was accepted by a majority vote against the "no" votes of the members belonging to the People's Alliance.
