According to Shmyhal, water prices are set at the local level.
Today, water prices are formed by local authorities. They are market-based and include all the market components of the cost of supplying water and wastewater disposal. Of course, we have included the protection of water pumping stations, water treatment plants, and wastewater treatment plants in our resilience plans. All of this is a comprehensive system and, of course, understanding that the enemy will strike—we are precisely talking about concentrating our focus in this area in order to protect it
