Question 32499 — water and sanitation

Summary

Mr. Bertrand Bouyx draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities to the transfer of water and sanitation skills to urban communities. Under the law of August 7, 2015, known as the NOTRe law, as well as law no. 2018-702 of August 3, 2018, urban communities must take jurisdiction in place of their member municipalities in matters sanitation and drinking water as well as the management of urban rainwater on January 1, 2020. At the same time, article L. 5216-7 of the CGCT authorizes the urban community to withdraw from the union on January 1 of the year following the date of transfer of competence. However, the health crisis linked to covid-19 and the postponement of elections that it induced has only recently allowed the installation of community governance and unions. Thus, certain urban communities fear that community elected officials and union elected officials will have little time to calmly examine the consequences of such a choice, particularly at the technical level, on the one hand, and financial, on the other. Taking all these elements into account, he asks if a postponement of this decision to January 1, 2022 can be considered.
