FRENCH WATER AGENCIES
• Financing water by water
• At watershed level
• Users are payers and decision-makers
• each drop of water used/polluted is billed
• Each bill is taxed to feed a basin facility
• Water agencies operate the facility
IWRM allows water to pay for water: a selfhelped sector
• Capital investments are decided and carried by the municipal owners, supported by water agencies:
40% grants & 20% soft loans
• No state (central governement) support
• States charges V.A.T on every bill .
Where does the money go ?
Who invests is supportedFrom 1991 to 2001, 56% of SN water investments were disbursed by AESN (€ 5.6 billions/10 billions
total)
BASIN SOLIDARITY
• Pollution tax of each utility is modulated according to their population scale: large agglomerations (PARIS) pay 2.8 times more than low populated municipalities
• Municip. less than 400 inhabitants do not pay
• All get the same level of aids from agencies.
