  6. THE SANITARY SERVICES IN CHILE: REGULATION AND CONTROL MAIN CONCEPTS IN THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF THE SANITARY SECTOR

  7. BASIC CONCEPTS OF TODAY’S LEGISLATION • SEPARATION OF THE NORMATIVE AND REGULATORY ROLES (WHICH REMAIN IN THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT), FROM THE COMERCIAL AND PRODUCTIVE FUNCTIONS. • A TARIFARY SYSTEM BASED ON MARKET RATES THAT PROMOTES WATER AND WASTEWATER UTILITY EFFICIENCY AND FACILITATES FINANCING. • DIRECT SUBSIDIES FOR LOW INCOME USERS.

  8. THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF THE SANITARY SECTOR IN CHILE(OPERATING SINCE 1990) • General Law of Sanitary Systems • Tariff Laws • Law of the Superintendence of Sanitary Services • Subsidy Law for low income consumers of potable water and users of the sewage system services • Laws that create state-owned utilities as an exception

  9. General Law of Sanitary Systems • The General Law is the legal backbone of the Chilean sanitary system: • Establishes minimum technical and operational standards. • Establishes minimum service quality. • Defines the conditions under which the concessions will be granted.

  10. SANITARY SERVICES CONCESSION • It’s an enabling title that constitutes a right established by law. • Allows a Company, created with that unique purpose, to be the only authorized provider of sanitary services in a determined territory. • On the other hand, concession owners cannot deny service within their territory. • Concessions are granted for an unlimited period of time.

  11. SANITARY SERVICES CONCESSIONFour separate Concessions are identified • Water Production • Water Distribution* • Sewage Recolection* • Sewage Treatment and Disposal * Must be granted simultaneously

  12. Ownership and exploitation rights over concessions can be transferred totally or partially, and on a permanent or temporary basis.

  13. PRIVATIZATION PROCESSMOTIVATION • CAPITAL INTENSIVE PROJECTS REQUIRED BY THE SECTOR.(SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS) • PUBLIC RESOURCES NEEDED IN OTHER HIGH PRIORITY SOCIAL AREAS.
