Environmental committee debating CAPS bill - Nicaragua

The environmental and natural resources committee of the Nicaraguan congress has started debating a bill aimed at empowering communal potable water and sewerage committees (CAPS), congress reported on its website.

These entities operate and administer potable water and sewerage service in their communities.

The initiative seeks to give CAPS legal authority to manage financing from national and international entities for maintenance and improvement of potable water systems. Additionally, the entities would receive technical support from national water utility Enacal.

Once the debate concludes, the bill will be analyzed in conjunction with relevant players in the potable water and sewerage sectors.
