Area of competence infra-communal AEP

An EPCI, regardless of its form, may have powers for EPAs conferred by its statutes (Article L5211-5 of the CGCT: General code of territorial authorities). This competence may include: the production of drinking water by surface or underground sampling, AND/OR its transmission through the pipeline network, AND/OR its distribution to the subscriber’s connection. A municipality belonging to an EPCI may choose for all or part of its territory to:
— delegate this competence to him
— delegate it to another public institution or body
— retain this competence.
An EPCI may also choose to delegate all or part of its PIA competence to a joint union. This creates “areas of competence” different from the administrative boundaries of the EPCI. The layer presents these areas of competence for the department of Puy-de-Dôme with a slippery update as the competence transfers.
