20/04/2018 09:49:01

Wednesday in plenary session, the deputies after more than 3 hours of discussions, adopted at first reading (62 votes for, 0 against and 10 abstentions), a bill which will allow the State to acquire the means necessary for the protection and the proper use of the country's water resources.

"Through this law, the Haitian State will be able to ensure the separation of responsibilities for the capture, production, transportation, distribution, emptying and marketing of water," said the Commission who were responsible for analyzing this bill.

In addition, this bill creates, organizes and operates the National Hydric Resources Agency (ANARHY), an autonomous body that will be responsible for implementing the Government's water regulation policy.

This bill will now be sent to the Senate for ratification before official publication by the Executive in the Official Journal "Le Moniteur".
