Residents of Ilfov will face a significant increase in water and sewage tariffs starting November 10, 2026, with costs rising to 19.48 lei per cubic meter, 77% higher than in Bucharest. The new rates, justified by operational costs and infrastructure investments, reflect a 13.9% increase from the current 17.10 lei. The cumulative tariff for water and sewage in Ilfov will surpass that of Bucharest, which stands at 10.98 lei. The operator, Apă-Canal Ilfov, cites inflation and the need for compliance with European standards as reasons for the hike. Additionally, the calculation for sewage services will consider only 80% of the water consumed, slightly mitigating the impact on households. This adjustment adds financial pressure on Ilfov residents amid rising utility costs.
