The article suggests a scientific base for using «green» and social bonds to solve environmental problems in water supply systems; numerous facts that encourage using social investment tools in the high-yield water sector are revealed. In particular, preconditions for intensifying economic activity in the construction field are appearing, as it is obvious that a constant threat of shelling faced by our country changes the requirements for all living conditions, and water supply systems as well. Emphasis is placed on the assumption that if the green bond market in Ukraine is implemented and developed, it will help to create a multiplier for attracting funds to implement various environmental projects and to increase guarantees for investors injecting funds in such projects. Both negative and positive factors of using social investment to modernize water supply systems in Ukraine are identified. It is concluded that it is necessary to intensify the development of the regulatory framework for «green» and social investment in order to offset the trend of debt accumulation among enterprises operating water supply systems in Ukrainian settlements, so that such enterprises could become monopolists in the market.
