Utility bills to double by 2017?

The Belarusians will have to pay the full cost of utility services.

Komsomolskaya Pravda v Belarusi tried to calculate how utility bills for a standard two-room apartment will rise.

The government warned several times about the planned increase. It promised that people will begin to pay the full cost of utility services in 2015, but according to the plan of measures on the balanced development of economy, people will have to pay 100% of costs only for gas and electricity next year. The final transfer to 100% reimbursement of costs of utility services is planned for 2017.

Officials say Belarusian citizens pay only 30% of the real cost of utilities.

Journalists tried to calculate how utility bills for a standard two-room apartment with three registered persons will look like. The flat is equipped with a gas oven without a gas meter, and the family doesn't exceed the standard energy use rate.
