In Pervolia, homeowners were mistakenly billed €6,000 for utilities

Hundreds of property owners in Pervolia (Larnaca district) received shocking bills for waste collection and other municipal services — ranging from €5,000 to €6,000. The invoices were sent out by the Dromolaxia–Meneou municipality.

After complaints from residents, the authorities determined that the issue was caused by a technical error during printing. According to municipal secretary Kyriakos Sotiriou, of the 4,279 notices sent out, the error affected 1,789 paper bills.

Sotiriou уточнил, что некорректные суммы указаны только в печатных квитанциях: данные в электронных счетах (в том числе для оплаты через JCC) верные. В ближайшее время муниципалитет перевыпустит правильные счета и отправит их жителям повторно.
