Question 24033 — water and sanitation

Summary

Ms. Frédérique Tuffnell draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities to the legal responsibility of local elected officials in the face of future floods. Indeed, the acquisition of competence for the management of aquatic environments and flood prevention (GEMAPI) on January 1, 2018, is accompanied by an obligation for elected officials to regularize the administrative situation of the dikes for which they ensure management before December 31, 2019. This regularization requires a phase of studies, called danger studies, expensive, complex and necessarily long, since it is the only way to limit both the risks for the population and the personal liability of elected officials in the event of flooding. As the deadline of December 31, 2019 approaches, and faced with the risk of overloading design offices, managers have a possibility of expressly requesting an extension of the deadline from the prefect. She asks him to clarify whether the State intends to grant these requests without formalities or if, on the contrary, the prefect will have a margin of appreciation.
