Question 2038 — local authorities

Summary

Ms. Marie-Ange Rousselot draws the attention of the Minister of Partnership with Territories and Decentralization to the announcement made by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal on April 23, 2024 during the 8th interministerial committee for public transformation to remove the obligation for annual emptying of public swimming pools. This simplification measure was eagerly awaited by the municipalities and intermunicipalities, and requested for a long time by the association of French mayors and intercommunity presidents (AMF) or the national association of elected officials in charge of sport (Andes). The removal of the annual emptying obligation for public swimming pools makes it possible to pursue a triple objective: to simplify the lives of local elected officials, to preserve precious water resources and thus contribute to protecting the environment, and finally to enable an overall saving of 30 million euros for local authorities. Furthermore, public swimming pools, classified as establishments open to the public (EPR), are regularly monitored by regional health agencies. It is therefore superfluous to maintain the regulatory obligation of annual emptying of aquatic basins to the extent that the quality of the water still meets the health standards in force. While the Government and communities territorial authorities must find sources of savings, compatible with environmental and health objectives, she asks him when this promise to remove the obligation of annual emptying of public swimming pools can be implemented and by what legal means.
