Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill changes the Water and Sewage Corporations Law by adding an option for local authorities to operate water and sewage services themselves, on condition that they meet criteria of financial stability, minimum collection rates, maximum water loss, and sufficient investment in infrastructure. This bill applies both to authorities that have not yet established a corporation and to authorities operating services through an existing corporation that wish to transfer the operation to themselves. The Minister of Energy and Infrastructure will be authorized to approve or reject the request, and to order the authority to return to operation through a corporation if the conditions are not met.
