[News Boquete] Proposed law to reorganize the administration of water in Panama


There is a proposal in committee of the Asamblea Nacional for the Nationalization and Centralization of all the Acueducts in the Republic.
 
Current administration voices disappointment in the performance of IDAAN, the current administrative body of potable water.
New 7 persons governing body ... La Autoridad Nacional de Agua Potable y Saneamiento. All volunteers chosen by the president.
 
Urban areas will undergo the change and 18 months later rural areas are mandated to participate.  The premise of the govt is that all water belongs to them.  Be it coming from above, surface or subsurface.  Therefore any land owner who has pipes installed from the system of an acueduct must participate in this program.
 
Meters will be installed at the cost of the customers. Monthly fees based on costs and expenses for the Autoridad.
 
Private Developers after receiving permission will install a delivery system for each home , then turn it over to the "Autoridad" free of charge. 
 
The President has placed  public relations firm, "Corporate Diplomacy", as intermediaries between the public and Martinelli.  The members of this firm have agreed to meet with us on Wedenesday, April17, 2013, to explain, answer questions regarding how this will affect us especially the rural areas that are independent.  Meeting is at 9am at the Feria, the more resident in attendance the more seriously they will consider our concerns.  There will be an interpreter.
