Revised Bill for Water Conservation
July 1, 2025
The Ministry of Agriculture submitted a revised bill for water conservation, reducing penalties for excessive water use. The maximum prison sentence was cut from 6 to 3 months, and the fine from €3,000 to €1,000. Also, exceptions for hose use in cleaning were removed, with the minister maintaining a general oversight role. Concerns have been raised about the effectiveness of the new regulations in promoting water conservation.
