Petition No. 144-IX-759/23 concerning an amendment to the Act on Maintaining Cleanliness and Tidiness in Communes in order to determine the maximum rate of fees for services of emptying septic tank containers

Abstracts

EN

The article is an analysis of a petition that calls for the introduction of a provision specifying a unified maximum rate of fees for services of emptying out of waste tanks and transporting liquid waste. The argumentation of the petition is based on the allegation of discrimination against residents of rural areas, who bear higher costs of sewage disposal. The author of the article does not deny the existence of the problem, however, he alleges that the solution proposed in the petition is inadequate. According to the author, establishing uniform maximum fees for waste disposal will satisfy neither residents nor businesses. This is because a stiff price will not take into account local conditions on which the cost of such collection depends and will be, depending on the location, either too low or too high. However, the author is considering an alternative solution – granting municipal councils the right to set prices for such services with the concomitant right of entrepreneurs to compensation if they can prove that they have suffered a loss.
