Your water bill from 1 August
What the proposed tariff would cost your household — the 5.8 m³ per-person norm, the doubled rate above it, and what you pay now, with the decision still unsigned.
The town's water utility has asked to raise the tariff from 1 August 2026, and for most households that is a jump of roughly a third. This works out what your own bill would be at the new rates — because the rate you pay depends on how many people are registered at your address, not just on how much water you use.
Enter your monthly cubic metres and how many people are registered, and the figures below are simple arithmetic on the published tariff. Nothing here is your actual bill; the utility issues that.
Take this month's meter reading and subtract last month's. It is also printed on your bill.
The norm is 5.8 m³ a month for each registered person. Water inside the norm is charged at the household rate; every cubic metre above it costs double.
The rates for a household your size
| Band | How much | Water | Sewer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Within the norm | up to 11,6 m³ | 30,00 грн | 30,00 грн |
| Above the norm | everything above 11,6 m³ | 60,00 грн | 60,00 грн |
Your estimated monthly bill
At the proposed 1 August 2026 rates
480,00 грн
a month
- Water
- 240,00 грн
- Sewer
- 240,00 грн
- Total
- 480,00 грн
Water is your metered usage at the rates above. There is no standing charge on top of it.
Sewerage is billed on the same metered volume as the water — there is no second meter, so one number covers both halves of the bill.
An estimate, not your bill
Why the bills keep rising
The decision has not been signed yet
The draft is published as a «проект» with the date and the number left blank, and the council's own document register still shows no numbered decision establishing these tariffs. The utility gave notice of its intention on 2 July 2026 and held the public hearing on 9 July at vul. Dovbusha 86. Until a numbered decision appears, 1 August is the date in the draft, not a date that has been fixed. Check the council's document register before assuming your next bill uses these figures.

What the utility says the money is for
The notice gives the reason as the price of electricity, which it says has gone from 9.00 to 16.00 UAH per kWh, together with wages. Its costing puts the full cost of each service at 50.00 UAH per m³ before VAT, on 178.0 thousand m³ of expected sales a year, with calculated profit set at zero. The draft also asks the city council to budget money to cover the utility for the difference between the household rate and the full rate.

Worth knowing
What households pay now
The rate in force since 1 January 2025 for water inside the norm is 19.17 UAH per m³ excluding VAT, and the same again for sewerage — held at the level that applied on 24 February 2022. With VAT at 20% that is 23.00 each, so 46.00 UAH per m³ for the two together. The proposal takes that to 60.00. The VAT arithmetic is ours: the council quotes the current rates without VAT and the new ones with it, which is why the two sets of numbers look further apart than they are.
Source: Yaremche city council — notice of 2 July 2026; the 2022 VAT-inclusive figure of 23.00 also appears in the council's own open tariff dataset, checked 25 July 2026 (4 days ago).
The percentages in the notice do not add up
The council's notice describes the household increase as «ріст на 7 грн/м³, або на 130%». Neither figure survives checking: 19.17 to 30.00 is a rise of 10.83 UAH per m³, and 130% looks like the new rate expressed as a proportion of the old rather than the growth in it. This page shows the tariffs themselves and lets you do the sum on your own usage, rather than repeating percentages that are wrong.
Businesses, budget bodies and everyone outside the norm
Anyone who is not a household consumer pays 60.00 UAH per m³ for water and 60.00 for sewerage under the draft, against 40.00 and 35.00 excluding VAT today. Households pay that same 60.00 rate on every cubic metre above the norm — which is what makes the number of people registered at an address matter so much.

Rubbish is billed separately, and not by the cubic metre
Household waste collection is a flat monthly charge per household, and which one you pay depends on who collects from you: 160.00 UAH with КП «Благоустрій» and 100.00 UAH with СКП «Добробут-М», both in force since 1 July 2025 under executive-committee decision №60 of 24 June 2025. Bulky and construction waste is taken at 4,576.00 UAH per tonne. None of that is included in the figure above.

If you want to say something about it
The utility — КП ВУВКГ м. Яремче, vul. Dovbusha 86 — takes comments on the tariff at jaremche_vuvkg@ukr.net and on (03434) 2-20-78 or (03434) 2-27-63. The formal comment window ran for seven days from the notice, but the decision is not yet adopted, and the executive committee is the body that adopts it: vul. Svobody 266, (03434) 2-24-94. Yaremche residents have organised on this before — an electronic petition against a water price rise collected 84 signatures in 2020.
