Residents across the Municipality of Pangaio have raised complaints over rising bills from DEYAA Pangaio, the local water and sewerage utility, according to regional press coverage. The complaints echo a broader pattern of scrutiny facing municipal utilities across the wider Kavala area, as households weigh higher charges against the need for continued investment in ageing water infrastructure. Local officials have not detailed plans to review the tariff structure, though residents' associations say they intend to press the issue with the utility's board.
