European water utilities’ finance meeting in Cyprus

The Financial and Statistics Committee meeting of the International Water Association took place in Limassol, where members from Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Holland, Spain and Switzerland, discussed cost and pricing of recycled water, as well as supply and consumption data.

Socrates Metaxas, Director of the host Limassol Water Board, said that the meeting produced an exchange of ideas and experiences, in addition to the main subject on the agenda which was the financial management and pricing policies of water utilities.
