Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק תאגידי מים וביוב (תיקון - הפעלת שירותי מים וביוב על ידי רשות מקומית)
TL;DRA proposal to allow local authorities to operate water and sewage services themselves instead of corporations, and to dissolve the corporations accordingly.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Water and Sewage Corporations Law (2001) in two ways: first, it allows a local authority that has so decided (by a decision of the authority's council and with the approval of the head of the authority) to operate the water and sewage services within its jurisdiction itself. Second, the proposal requires the dissolution of the new water corporation that operated in the authority, and the transfer of all its assets, rights, debts and obligations to the local authority, which will take the corporation's place in every existing legal proceeding. The authority is required to allocate revenues from collecting water fees (minus collection expenses) for the purposes of operating and improving the infrastructure. The proposal states that it will take effect six months from the day of its publication.
