According to the antimonopoly authorities, during the inspection of compliance by business entities and local governments with the legislation on the protection of economic competition in the regional market for centralized water supply and centralized sewerage services within the Odesa region, the Southern MTV of the AMCU found that the utility company Chornomorskvodokanal charged and collected from consumers for centralized water supply and centralized sewerage services at inflated tariffs established by the decision

"Such tariffs do not comply with the requirements of the current legislation, namely the procedure for setting tariffs for centralized water supply and centralized sewerage, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on June 1, 2011. Such actions of Chornomorskvodokanal and the Executive Committee of the Chornomorsk City Council contain signs of violation of competition law," the AMCU said.
