Dear Vivika,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to you regarding Tallinna Vesi. In recent months, there has been considerable public discussion in Riga about district heating, partly driven by political developments ahead of the elections. Recently, similar attention has turned to water services.

In this context, an active member of the Latvian Parliament (Saeima) has prepared a comparison between the Baltic capitals; however, the information presented is not fully accurate.

I would therefore appreciate your assistance with the following factual questions:

1. 1. 1. Is it true that as of 1 July 2026, water and wastewater tariffs in Tallinn are required to be equal for household consumers and legal entities?
   (While practical implementation may be delayed, is there a legal requirement to transition to equal tariffs?)
2. 2. Has Tallinna Vesi received any state or municipal subsidies (that are not included in tariffs) for water management purposes during the past three years?
3. 3. What is the WACC value for water management services for 2025 and 2026?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Best regards,
