The report presented by AySA details that the rate increase seeks to “cover part of the increase in the company’s operating expenses, counteract the effects of inflation that affect costs and address operating deficits.”
For this reason, the Resolution specifies that the value of the “Modification Coefficient K” will have an increase of “twenty percent (20%) to be applied as of July 1, 2022 and ten percent (10%) to be applied as of October 1, 2022″. In this way, a gradual recovery of the economic balance in operating costs is expected, as well as, in the face of the deficit generated from the pandemic and the freezing of rates.
With the new measure ordered by the Government, the value of the “Modification Coefficient K” will go from 37.2918 to 44.7502 as of July, while in the second tranche the increase will rise to $49.2252.
Regarding the beneficiaries of the social rate, articles 3 and 4 of the Resolution establish exceptions. Those who have the benefit in force until the entry into force of the measure, will have “an additional discount that neutralizes the effect of the application of the tariff modification established hereby in articles 1 and 2; Said discount will be maintained until the date of renewal or cessation of such benefit.
On the other hand, in the Resolution it was also defined to suspend for five years the collection of the Meter Installation Charge to those Users of all categories “that request the metered billing modality, according to the approved plans and budget”. In turn, in article 8 it was resolved to exempt for five years from the collection of the charge for connection of drinking water “established in article 17 of the RANT to those Users who request the metered billing modality and for this purpose readjust their internal facilities to in order to be supplied independently.
In this regard, it was clarified that said measure will only reach “the functional units belonging to buildings subdivided into horizontal property or similar regime, supplied by one or more connections in an undivided manner, existing at the entry into force of this resolution” that is, that will be applicable to new constructions that have been carried out.
