We would like to remind you that in January 2026, a new general director of the municipal enterprise Mykolaivvodokanal was appointed . He is Hennadii Iziumov, former head and chief engineer of water supply construction projects at the municipal enterprise Mariupolvodokanal.

It should be noted that on 1 January 2026, the water tariff for legal entities is 90.216 hryvnias per 1 cubic metre, while the population continues to pay 34.044 hryvnia per 1 cubic metre of water supply and sanitation — it remains «frozen» at the 2022 level.

Earlier, the head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration, Vitalii Kim, promised to do everything possible to prevent the tariff for centralised drinking water supply for Mykolaiv residents from increasing.

In turn , Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych noted that the city now pays for water from the new water pipeline by meter, which may affect the tariff for consumers.
