Officials at the municipal water utility serving Kavala are launching an awareness campaign targeting households with outstanding payment obligations. The push comes as new national legislation governing local water authorities requires standardized collection procedures for delinquent accounts. Under the framework established by recent legislative changes, residents who fail to settle overdue balances face potential surcharges of up to 50 percent on their existing debt. The company emphasizes that the settlement process is now mandatory across all Greek water utilities and encourages eligible residents to participate in available arrangement programs before enforcement measures begin. Those interested in resolving their accounts are advised to contact the utility directly to explore payment options.
