6,123.40 leva for water - that's how much a family from the village of Lesnovo, Elin Pelin municipality, received. According to the victims, this equates to approximately 2,500 cubic meters of water used. After an inspection by the Water and Sanitation Department, no damage was found to the water meter. The teams said there was no problem.
“We have been living here for three years and suddenly, like a “bolt of a thunderbolt” we received a bill for 2,500 cubic meters”, said Yavor. Three different Water and Sanitation Department employees visited the address and were amazed, the family claims. There was no evidence of water theft.
Currently, interest continues to accrue on the bill and the amount has become 6,500 leva. “It will most likely end up with sending a judge-executor”, said Yavor.
The problematic water meter was taken for inspection by the Water and Sewerage Department in November 2024, after the family insisted on it for 4 months. They were installed with another water meter, which, however, cracked and the Water and Sewerage Department teams returned the first one.
