French Public Health Code
In forceThe owner of a building or establishment whose wastewater comes from uses of water that are considered to be domestic in application ofarticle L. 213-10-2 of the Environment Code is entitled, at his request, to be connected to the public collection network within the limits of the transport and treatment capacities of the existing installations or those under construction.
The owner may be required to pay a contribution to the local authority organising the service or to the group to which it belongs, in accordance with the conditions laid down by decision of the deliberating body. The amount of this contribution takes into account the savings made by avoiding the cost of a statutory individual drainage or treatment facility.
This contribution is in addition, where applicable, to the fees mentioned inarticle L. 2224-12-2 of the General Local Authorities Code and to any sums that may be owed by the interested parties under articles L. 1331-2, L. 1331-3 and L. 1331-6 of this Code.
The local authority organising the service or the grouping to which it belongs may lay down technical specifications applicable to the connection of buildings or establishments mentioned in the first paragraph of this article, depending on the risks resulting from the activities carried out in these buildings and establishments, as well as the nature of the wastewater they produce. These technical requirements are grouped together in appendices to the sanitation service regulations which, by way of exception to the provisions of article L. 2224-12 of the General Local Authorities Code, are only notified to the users concerned.
The Lyon metropolitan authority is substituted for the municipalities located within its perimeter for the application of the provisions of this article.
