(IZMIR) -
Izmir Metropolitan Municipality IZSU General Directorate is preparing to reduce water and wastewater tariffs for 2027. With the proposal submitted to the General Assembly, it was proposed to raise the discounted first-tier limit for households from 6 cubic meters to 10 cubic meters and to reduce the unit price of the first 10 cubic meters of water to 22 lira. If the proposal submitted to the committee is accepted, citizens using up to 10 cubic meters of water will benefit from discounts of up to 63 percent.
DISCOUNTED TIER TO RISE TO 10 CUBIC METERS
Izmir Metropolitan Municipality IZSU General Directorate has prepared a new tariff regulation to ease the economic burden on Izmir residents and encourage efficient water use. With the regulation opened for discussion at the IZSU General Assembly, the aim is for subscribers with especially low and medium water consumption to benefit from more advantageous prices. The proposal, covering residential and commercial subscribers, envisages reducing unit prices in consumption tiers up to 40 cubic meters. The most notable part of the new regulation is the increase of the discounted consumption limit of 0-6 cubic meters, in effect since June 1, 2026, to 10 cubic meters. Under the current tariff, the water and wastewater unit charge for residential subscribers is 25 lira for the first 6 cubic meters; with the new regulation, it is planned to be reduced to 22 lira for the first 10 cubic meters. Thus, a discount of approximately 63 percent will be provided in the 0-10 cubic meter consumption segment. With the expansion of the discounted consumption limit, 1 million 264 thousand 925 residential subscribers are expected to benefit from the new tariff.
30 PERCENT DISCOUNT FOR 11-20 CUBIC METERS
The proposal prepared by IZSU also includes significant discounts for subscribers with medium water consumption. For residential subscribers, the unit price of 99.83 lira in the 11-20 cubic meter consumption tier is envisaged to be reduced to 70 lira. Thus, a discount of approximately 30 percent will be provided in this consumption range. In the 21-40 cubic meter consumption tier, the unit price of 145 lira is planned to be reduced to 140 lira.
DISCOUNTS FOR BUSINESSES AS WELL
The new tariff proposal covers not only residential subscribers but also businesses. For commercial subscribers, the discounted unit charge of 50 lira for the first 10 cubic meters is envisaged to be reduced to 44 lira. In the 11-20 cubic meter consumption tier, reducing the unit price of 199.65 lira to 140 lira is planned to provide a discount of approximately 30 percent. In the 21-40 cubic meter consumption range, the unit price of 290 lira is targeted to be reduced to 280 lira.
