CORFU. Mayor Meropi Ydraiou: "The contractor has no say in the determination of the pricing policy".
The Central Corfu Mayor Meropi Ydraiou told Enimerosi that DEYAK will determine the pricing policy for the water bills paid by the citizens, in view of the large €146-million Corfu water supply project.
"The contractor has no say in the determination of the pricing policy. Of course not. It will be determined by DEYAK. It's our policy. The contractor has nothing to do with the price," said Mrs. Ydraiou. She made this statement a few hours before the Central Corfu Municipal Council's crucial special joint meeting for DEYAK.
