Quality of Service Provided to the End User
The purpose of Regulation 446/2024, of April 19 (RQS), is to define the minimum quality levels for aspects directly related to the urban waste management service, provided to end users and directly felt by them.
This regulation establishes the minimum quality levels of the service provided by water supply, wastewater sanitation and urban waste management service providers, and provides for compensation to be paid to the affected user in certain situations. This approach represents a clear benefit for the sector, as well as for all those involved in the provision of these essential public services.
