WATER SUPPLY, SEWERAGE AND WATER PRICE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Original language description

History of water supply and sewerage systems dates back to ancient times, since water is a scarce resource needed for life.

The aim of this article is to introduce methods of calculating the price of water and sewer rates in the Czech Republic. Furthermore to list the development of water price and comparison of current w
