9,000 entities in the "strainer" for sewage. What should they do to

All entities that carry out economic activities in coastal areas, as well as on the shores of lakes and rivers, and discharge polluted waters into washing waters must install their treatment and removal plants within 3 months.

Those entities that discharge polluted water into septic tanks will also have this obligation. Everything is defined in the Normative Act approved by the government at the end of last year, which has just been published in the Official Gazette.

The obligation includes all types of entities, starting from accommodation structures, agrotourism, guesthouses, hotels, tourist complexes, bars, restaurants, etc. Meanwhile, according to data from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, there are a total of 9,000 entities near the washing waters.

Meanwhile, for monitoring, inspection and taking measures, in implementation of this normative act, in order to regulate the consequences resulting from the non-treatment of polluted waters that are discharged near or in bathing waters in coastal areas, or on the shores of lakes and rivers , a Task Force will be set up, depending on the head of the National Water-Sewage Agency.

This task force will also have the right to impose administrative measures, in case of violations. The Normative Act divides subjects into 3 categories, depending on the equivalent population, while the amount of fines varies according to the category to which the subject belongs.

Their value is estimated from 1.5 million ALL to 2.65 million ALL. The implementation of this decision aims to improve the quality of washing water, reaching the "excellent" classification at 95%, from the current 67%.
