In the city of Skopje, industry has to pay 1.07 €/m3 (0.76 €/m3 for water use and 0.31€/m3 for sewage) compared to the domestic tariff, which is 0.48 €/m3 for drinking water and wastewater. It is also very important to emphasize that large numbers of industry facilities are not operating, due to the difficult economic situation in the country. Some factories are closed, some are operating at reduced capacity, and others have changed their production.
