On March 3, 2026, France's National Assembly received a bill (Proposition de loi n° 2545) proposing the creation of a unified water and sanitation authority in Martinique. The bill aims to establish a single regulatory body to oversee water management and sanitation services across Martinique. This institutional restructuring consolidates previously fragmented oversight of water and sanitation infrastructure on the island. The creation of a unified authority is intended to improve coordination, efficiency, and service delivery across the territory's water and sanitation sectors. The measure reflects efforts to streamline administrative structures and enhance governance of essential public services in the overseas collectivity. The bill has been referred to the Commission des Lois (Legal Affairs Committee) for examination. Amendments to the proposal can be submitted during the legislative process. The bill is available in multiple formats including PDF, HTML, and XML versions on the National Assembly's legislative portal.
