Areas of competence in AEP in the Dawn

Areas of competence in Potable Water Supply (AEP) of Public Institutions for Intercommunal Cooperation (EPCI). An EPCI, regardless of its form, may have powers for EPAs conferred by its statutes (Article L5211-5 of the CGCT: General code of territorial authorities). This competence may include: the production of drinking water by surface or underground sampling, AND/OR its transmission through the pipeline network, AND/OR its distribution to the subscriber’s connection. A municipality that is a member of an EPCI may choose to: — delegate this competence to him — delegate it to another public institution or body — retain this competence. This creates “areas of competence” different from the administrative boundaries of the EPCI. This layer consists of the so defined “EPA competence areas” existing on a department on a given date.
