Price of water. 50 communities will test the social tariff
West-France 06 August 2015
Experimentation on the implementation of a social water tariff will be implemented in 50 communities, including Rennes or Le Havre.
The complete list has just been published in the Official Journal. Paris, Rennes, Strasbourg, Bordeaux or even Grenoble, Dijon and Le Havre are part of 50 communities that will implement a social water tariff to lighten the bill of disadvantaged households.
Reveal the most relevant solutions
As a reminder, after a first decree dated 14 April which had retained an initial list of 18 communities, the Ministry of Ecology and Energy had issued a decree (31 July) "amending and completing the list of local authorities and their groupings "retained for the implementation of social water pricing. An experiment provided for in the law Brottes sur l'énergie du 15 avril 2013.
This test will therefore be completed on 15 April 2018 and the solutions "which will prove to be the most relevant will, if necessary, be extended to the entire territory". In addition to Paris and cities and metropolitan regional agglomerations, the completed list includes unions from overseas communities (Martinique and North West Caribbean coasts) and new water unions including Sedif (Ile-de-France).
