In the coming period, significant developments are anticipated at EYATH, the water supply company for Thessaloniki, under the guidance of CEO Anthimos Amanatidis. While Thessaloniki does not face the same severe water scarcity issues as Athens, Amanatidis is compelled to adopt more rational and effective water management practices in response to broader trends. He recognizes the importance of proactive planning in the face of potential challenges.

One major focus currently is on the planned increases in water tariffs, which Amanatidis has already proposed to the relevant regulatory authority, RAAE. Although there has been a delay in the agency's publication of its decision, the favorable outcome of a similar situation with the Athens water company (EYDAP) suggests a possibility for a positive response to EYATH's requests as well. This indicates that changes in the financial policies regarding water may soon be implemented in Thessaloniki, similar to what has occurred in Athens.

Additionally, Amanatidis is looking beyond just tariff adjustments, as he considers investments and strategic moves related to the Halkidiki region and dividends. The continuous evolution in the field of water management requires both foresight and adaptability, and these developments at EYATH could set a new standard for water services in Thessaloniki, similar to other urban areas in Greece that are reviewing their water supply strategies.
