North Corfu Water Supply and Sewerage Company can be sustainable if managed efficiently

North Corfu Municipality hopes to address all these issues with the establishment of its own enterprise, provided that the billing policy is rationalised. This would ensure the payment of actual consumption, which has largely been collected "virtually" so far, given that the water meters are not functioning.

The phenomenon has been observed even with large enterprises paying only fixed charges, despite having significant consumption.

According to the economic feasibility study, if the billing policy is justly regulated and there are revenues corresponding to actual consumption, unnecessary water wastage will be reduced accordingly. This will streamline water supply, which faces serious problems during the summer. Under these conditions, the enterprise is not only estimated to be sustainable but also has the potential to self-finance its infrastructure projects.

Consensus

Despite significant disputes with the majority party, the main opposition party led by Spyros Varelas fully agreed with the opinion of Mahimaris' municipal authority. The decision was made by a majority, with 19 votes in favour and Laiki Sispirosi dissenting, proposing the establishment of a municipal service instead of an enterprise.
