As promised in our last newsletter.
Please see below details from our solicitor on how to apply for direct water connection, from VIK Bulgarian water supplier.
ALL OWNERS NEED TO ACTION THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
This is something all owners should agree on.
So, we ask all owners to unite and apply to VIK so we can start opening individual water accounts and regain back our property rights in Sunset.
Don’t leave it to others as these companies need to see we are serious about individual connection.
You need to support our solicitor by giving him strength in numbers.

From our solicitor
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to provide an important update regarding our ongoing efforts to secure electricity for the building. While this remains a priority, I would like to emphasize that the issue of individual access to water is equally critical, if not more so.
It is important to note that there is a fundamental difference between these two services. The electricity supply is managed by a privately owned corporation, EVN. On the other hand, the water supply is overseen by the state-owned VIK Water Company, which is owned by the State.
With regards to our plan for individual water connections, we have not received a formal refusal, as stated in the email received by Mrs. Ivalina. However, there are several requirements that necessitate the active cooperation of the Water company management. I have attached the official demand for water connection in a separate file for your reference.
Among the requirements, two key aspects require attention from the Water company:
1. The situation with the external plumbing connection must be agreed upon with the Water company.
2. A drawing of the agreed water meter unit for the water connection is needed.
Given that the water company is state-owned, this issue has political implications, and it falls under the purview of the Ombudsman. It is important to note that the Ombudsman is competent only in cases involving relationships between the state and individual persons.
To address these challenges, we are planning to arrange meetings with the relevant authorities, including the Mayors of Pomorie and Burgas, as well as the President of the Water company. My efforts to reach the mayor of Pomorie have not been successful until now.
Additionally, we need to reach out to the new minister, considering that Bulgaria is currently undergoing a political transition, and a change in power within the Ministry is expected. It is worth noting that the Ministry of Regional Development of the Republic of Bulgaria is the sole owner of the capital of the Water company.
As part of our plan, I have included an email that everyone can send to the water company’s email address. This email aims to raise awareness about the issues faced by multiple owners who are seeking access to water. In conclusion, I kindly request your support and cooperation in resolving the water access issue. Together, we can ensure all owners a secure and reliable water supply. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me through the SRIOC at your earliest convenience.
