This bill skyrockets suddenly for thousands of French people: we already know when it will go down

For several months, 400,000 people will see a bill soar. Before it drops, à a date already set planned.

This is another big blow to the wallets of thousands of French people, one of those we could do without. Little highlighted because it does not represent a significant part of the monthly household budget, a bill will experience a surge of nearly 50% during several months, due to a new special rule. However, it is already there. expected that this will drop and the date has already been set. été fixed.

Since June 1, the price of water has increased. for more than 400,000 households. And not just a little: +42% on the score!
