The operations of SUE "Vodokanal of St. Petersburg" in St. Petersburg and the suburbs are tariff-regulated. The legal framework of tariff regulation and general principles of tariff policy for public utilities are established by the Federal Law No. 210-FZ dated 30 December 2004 “On Principles of Public Utility Tariffs Regulation” and the Decree of the Federal Government No. 520 dated 14 July 2008 “On Pricing Principles and Regulation of Tariffs, Surcharges and Limiting Indices to Be Used by Public Utilities”.

Under the current law, the tariffs for public utilities are regulated, at the federal level, by the Federal Tariff Authority. This federal executive body is authorized to exercise legal control in the national regulation of prices (tariffs) for services and to monitor the use thereof; it sets the average price change limits for the subjects of the Russian Federation.

At the level of St. Petersburg as a subject of the Russian Federation, the tariff activities of Vodokanal are supervised and monitored by the St. Petersburg Municipal Tariff Committee. The Tariff Committee issues a special instruction establishing tariffs for Vodokanal water and wastewater services for each customer group for each subsequent fiscal year. Additionally, the Committee establishes a fee for connection to the municipal water networks and sewers.

Tariffs for water and wastewater services for 2009 were established by the Order of the Tariff Committee No 138-p dated 14 November 2008 “On Establishing Tariffs for Water and Wastewater Services Provided by the State Unitary Enterprise “Vodokanal of St.Petersburg” for 2009”.
