WAREG is the Association of European Regulators in the drinking water and wastewater sector

Conclusions of the 2nd EFRWS

In Europe there are many ways to regulate the water sector, from an environmental and an economic point of view. All various types of regulatory models in place are strictly connected with local, regional and national rules adopted in a single Country. In terms of governance of the water sector, independent regulators seem to have emerged as powerful public authorities to ensure compliance with relevant EU Directives and Regulations, especially in those Countries that were lagging behind in reaching EU targets.
