The Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC, which has been transposed into the nationallegislation with the Law 3199/2003 (MoEPPW, 2003), will cause substantial changes in the drinking waterpricing policy and the domestic water authorities involved such as the Municipal Enterprises for WaterSupply and Sewerage (DEYA). Up to date, drinking water pricing policy has been based only on therecovery of the economic cost and in some cases neither this. Therefore, domestic water is not pricedtaking into account its real cost. Based on data provided by 74 DEYA representing 2.10 million inh, theaverage water price is estimated to be 1.19 e/m3. Analysis of these data reveals a deviation of 41.67% fromthe real cost. The relation of consumers with the Enterprise, but also that of management and employees,should be a bidirectional relation, in order to be comprehensible by all. Thus, an agreement that will pointout that the most excellent quality of water presupposes water policy which will consider sustainability andthe current requirements of the Enterprise and of course the consumers should be established betweenthem.
