Development of average price of water and sewerage charges in the Czech Republic and its regions - A case study

Original language description

Water is perceived as a globally unsustainable resource that is indispensable for life on Earth. Since the period of socialism, which saw a complete political upheaval in 1989, the price of water supplied and the cost of water disposed of through the sewerage system has increased several times. The impact of the increase in the price of water and sewerage charges was not due to the economic situation of the water companies but to the overall macroeconomic perspective of the state. After 1989, the legal form of the water management companies was changed from state-owned companies to joint-stock companies. The water supply and sewerage disposal are public services, so the water supply charges should be acceptable and affordable for customers. At the same time, however, macroeconomic indicators such as inflation have an impact on the water supply and sewerage charges. The authors of the article focused on the year-on-year comparison, determining the annual index of water and sewerage charges without VAT on a longer time axis of 2007-2020. This year-on-year comparison was observed both in the context of the average water and sewerage charges and within the individual regions of the Czech Republic. The year-on-year comparison was determined on the basis of the horizontal analysis method. In the corresponding years, when there was a higher increase in the water and sewerage charges, they identified the correlation with macroeconomic indicators such as gross domestic product, inflation, population, and others. The correlation results were assessed from the qualified perspective. All data required for this study was obtained from the available websites of the Czech Statistical Office.
