TO THE PRESS AND PUBLİC...

It has become necessary to make a statement regarding the unbiased evaluations regarding the execution proceedings regarding Van Water and Sewerage Administration (VASKİ), which have recently been reflected in the public opinion.

In this context, as a result of the work initiated by our administration regarding the subscribers who did not pay their water debts on time, their debts were reminded in February, March and April and warnings were made to pay their debts. Our subscribers were also warned via their phones registered on the system. Upon these warnings, a commitment agreement was made with the subscribers, and proceedings were initiated within the framework of legal regulations through the Central Tracking System (MTS) for residences and workplaces whose debts exceeded 10 thousand TL between 6 and 207 invoices and who did not attempt to pay despite all the calls made and installment support provided for payment. However, there were no actual seizure and sale transactions. 

Our institution has been warned about the collection of accumulated water debts in the Civil Administration and Court of Accounts audits that our institution has undergone every period. In this framework, follow-ups were also carried out in the past periods. The water and wastewater receivables of our Administration are around 1 billion TL and the enforcement proceedings initiated cover only 10 percent of the debtor subscribers.

No legal proceedings were carried out and negotiations were held to cover their debts from Van Metropolitan Municipality.

Again, a contract was signed with 27 lawyers on a part-time basis to carry out execution proceedings, with 60 percent of the attorney fees they will be entitled to, and 40 percent of the attorney fees to be paid by our administration.

In the light of all this information, we remind that the practice is inevitable again and we present our respects to the public.
