Drinking water: an essential point

The development program for the supply of drinking water:

This is a projected document which after approval from the concerned communes allows a general view on the situation of the drinking water supply in our territory.

Why a development program for drinking water?

  • In order to respect regulation: planned consumption and protection of sources, pressure and quantity of distribution, norms of drinking quality, water for fire fighting, management of urbanisation
  • To face local constraints: topography, actual state of installations, strong urbanisation
  • To face financial constraints: budget of the water service, running costs, investment and renewal of the patrimonies, instalments of credits and financial capacities of the communes.

The objectives :  

  • optimising the installations of drinking water supply and the community springs
  • organising the "drinking water" services of the communes
  • defining the budgets for the supply of drinking water of the communes
  • organising the water for fire fighting
  • including these data into a local development program. 

The results of the study will be known at the end of the year 2006.
