6. HISTORIC EVOLUTION 2

7. VINARÒS  The Valencian Community carries out duties with regard to water sanitation and treatment since the year 1986. RD 1871/85. ­ In 1986 only 31% of the population had waste-water treatment. ­ 70% of the installations did not properly work. ­ Between the years 1986-1991, the percentage of population served reached 66%. ­ Despite the efforts, there was a great structural deficit. 2 HISTORIC EVOLUTION

8. VINARÒS  The Valencian Community carries out duties with regard to water sanition and treatment since the year 1986.  RD 1871/85. ­ The infrastructures executed did not offer any security regarding their suitable maintenance. ­ To solve this needs the Cortes Valencianas approved the Law 2/1992. 2 HISTORIC EVOLUTION

9. VINARÒS SANITION LAW 2/92  Intended to consolidate correct operation and maintenance of WWTP, existing and future  Principal functions are: ­ Guarantee correct maintenance and operation of WWTP ­ Execute needed sanitation infrastructures ­ Establish Sanitation Tax ­ Establish the EPSAR 2 HISTORIC EVOLUTION

12. 4 THE SANITATION FEE

13. 13  Established by the Law 2/1992. It works as a tax.  It guarantees the economical resources to finance the maintenance and operational costs of the EDAR (Sewage Treatment Plants).  It charges the production of sewage, by means of the consumption.  It affects both the consumption in public nets and in the own nets.  There are two rates, one for domestic use (0,46 €/m 3 ) and one for industrial use (0,67 €/m 3 ). It represents 30% of the water invoice. 4 THE ICO TAX
