The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Thursday adopted as a whole the Law of Ukraine "On Drinking Water and Drinking Water Supply." 338 people's deputies voted for the adoption of the Law as a whole, reports a correspondent of "proUA". \n \n \n \nThe Law determines that in order to prevent the occurrence of emergency situations of a technogenic and natural nature due to the termination of drinking water supply to consumers (except the population) in the event of non-payment or incomplete payment for the drinking water used by them, an ecological reserve of drinking water supply is established. \n \n \nThe procedure for restricting and compiling a list of drinking water consumers to whom the restriction of drinking water supply to the level of the ecological reserve of drinking water supply or the complete termination of water supply to them is applied shall be determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. Payment for drinking water used within the established ecological reserve shall be made at the expense of the funds of the respective consumers (except the population). \n \n \n\nFor drinking water consumers, an obligation is established, in the event of incomplete payment for the drinking water used, to restrict the use of drinking water to the level of the ecological reserve or to terminate it entirely if such a reserve is not established. At the same time, they are obliged to ensure unhindered access for responsible representatives of drinking water supply enterprises to their own water supply networks and equipment for monitoring the level of drinking water consumption, as well as for disconnection or restriction of consumption. At the same time, drinking water supply enterprises are granted the right to restrict the drinking water supply of a consumer to the level of the ecological reserve of drinking water supply or to terminate it entirely if the reserve is not established, in the event of incomplete payment by the consumer for the drinking water used. \n
