This discussion paper addresses the financial and regulatory challenges of implementing Full Water Cost recovery in urban systems with high Non-Revenue Water under climate variability. Using a pipe network in Kozani, Greece, as a case study, the analysis quantifies Direct, Environmental, and Resource Costs across the water cycle. A novel indicator, the Minimum Charge Difference (MCD), reveals distortions caused by fixed charges. The framework integrates pricing, demand elasticity, and hydraulic management. Additionally, a per capita tariff approach is introduced under revenue neutrality, enabling evaluation of distributional impacts and revealing inequities of connection-based pricing, providing a practical tool for socially fair tariff design and policy implementation.
