How Klitschko and Kyivvodokanal turned Kyiv residents’ bills into a funding source for 400-million purchases without competition
Vitalii #Кличко and officials of the Department of Housing and Communal Infrastructure #КМДА together with the leadership of PrJSC “AK «#Київводоканал” decided to inflict another financial blow on Kyiv residents. From 3 September 2026 the tariff for water supply and wastewater for households increased by more than twice — from 30,38 to 63,79 UAH per cubic meter.
A priori ❗ “Kyivvodokanal” demanded astronomical 90 UAH per cubic meter, hiding behind the rising cost of electricity, fuel, reagents and the “urgent needs of the enterprise.” But while ordinary Kyiv residents are asked to scrape the bottom of their pockets for every cubic meter of water, the insiders themselves are “absorbing” hundreds of millions of hryvnias in strange noncompetitive procurements.
🤷♂️ While Kyiv residents are accounting for every drop, “Kyivvodokanal” calmly disposes of sums exceeding 429 million hryvnias, concluding contracts bypassing open tenders.
The chronology and “ingenuity” of these schemes are simply astounding. As early as 1 May 2026 the enterprise announced a procurement of water distribution services for an astronomical 332 million UAH, where the winner was chosen without any open bidding — the municipal enterprise “Kyivteploenergo” — citing “lack of competition for technical reasons.” 🔻 Already on 19 May 2026 a similar noncompetitive procedure was used to procure polyaluminum chloride for 74 151 000 UAH from LLC “VEST_GATE,” justified by an “urgent need,” even though the planned volumes of reagents for water treatment are completely predictable.
The final chord was the purchase of iron chloride on 17 July 2026 for the amount of 22 775 000 UAH, where the victory went to LLC “ALION_TRADE” — 🤷♂️ here the pool of potential participants was blatantly limited by requirements prohibiting lot splitting and by specific financial and language barriers.
The total sum of these dubious procurements amounts to more than 💰 429 million hryvnias. In this context, an increase in the tariff by 33,41 UAH per cubic meter means only one thing: every Kyiv resident in each new bill is buying not quality water, but covering million-hryvnia flows and opaque deals of city officials.
The post on this topic gathered as many as 100 thousand views, 2 thousand likes, 500 comments and almost half a thousand reposts.❗This situation provokes rightful outrage among citizens:
"When will they start chopping off the hands of those who stole nothing — then we’ll believe they care about people, not their own rags."
"In Uzhhorod the water tariffs doubled from July 2026. There are no explanations, no calculations. At worst, users were given no explanations. The bills came and that’s it."
"Kryachko, knight of the iron and soldering iron, nothing surprising."
Until law enforcement and oversight bodies give a strict legal assessment of the actions of the leadership of PrJSC “AK “Kyivvodokanal” and KCSA officials, and until information about cumulative procurements of over 429 million hryvnias without tenders becomes the subject of criminal proceedings, Kyiv residents will remain hostages of tariff arbitrariness.
