Němečková, Petra
Drinking water supply is exclusively secured by the companies in monopoly position. Many of us mistakenly believe that the supply of drinking water and the collection of waste water is secured by only one water management company. There can be one or more water management companies in every district. In the district of Břeclav there is one water management company which secures drinking water supply in three areas: Břeclav, Hustopeče and Mikulov. Water management companies represent a territorial monopoly. Because of this they are subjects of control of the price determining authorities. In the case of water management company it is competent financial authority. This diploma thesis demonstrates that there is a decrease in water consumption while there is simultaneously an increase in the price of the consumed water, so that the water management company can generate sufficient profit to cover the operating costs and investment activities.
