Estonia has gradually ceased to provide water as a free economic good and over the past 10 years has taken significant steps towards implementing the principle of a real price of water as well as the Full Cost Recovery and the Polluter Pays Principles. At the beginning of 2009 the average price of water supply for domestic customers was 12.5 kroons/m3 and 17.1 kroons/m3 for sewerage services.
Water resource taxes in 2009 are about double and pollution charges up to ten times higher than in 2000.
