📋 Tender Overview
Changes adapt the regulations to the provisions of the Regulations of the Universal Drinking Water and Sanitation Service Law.The National Superintendency of Sanitation Services (Sunass) approved the modification of the Quality Regulation of the Provision of Drinking Water and Sanitation Services provided by Providing Companies and the General Regulation of Inspection and Sanction.
These modifications, made official today through Board of Directors Resolution No. 012-2026-SUNASS-CD, seek to regulate access to drinking water and sanitation services, improve investment planning and strengthen oversight, in line with the Regulations of the Universal Drinking Water and Sanitation Service Law (RLSU).
Registration of those not connected to the provider company
In the Quality Regulation, one of the main changes is the regulation of the procedure and deadlines for the implementation of the Registry of Not Connected to the Provider Company (RNCEP), which will allow the identification of owners or possessors of properties who still do not have access to drinking water and sanitation services, even if they live in front of an available network or, at the time, requested the service and could not be served by the company. This registry must be implemented within defined deadlines and will allow for organized information on the unmet demand for the service.
This instrument will be key for companies to identify the real demand for water and sanitation, incorporate these needs in their investment plans and prioritize the expansion of infrastructure based on this unmet demand. In addition, it is established that the owners or possessors of real estate must first request services from the providing company, which will allow the registration of even those who cannot be served due to lack of capacity. Likewise, properties located in front of networks must be connected compulsorily, even when they have the right to use water and/or discharge, as long as there is capacity, contributing to a more orderly use of the service.
Measures are also incorporated to improve the user experience and the transparency of the service. Among them, a new, clearer and easier to understand receipt format stands out, which prioritizes relevant information for the user. Added to this is the obligation of the providing companies to publish and keep updated information on their investment projects linked to the expansion and/or extension of the networks, including progress and forecasts, which will allow the population to know if their area will be served and in what terms.
Likewise, Sunass incorporated new infractions linked to non-compliance with obligations related to the RNCEP to the General Supervision and Sanction Regulations. In addition, providing companies will be required to publish updated information about their investment projects in their digital headquarters, which will allow users to know if their areas will be served and in what terms.
The regulations collect contributions from citizens and actors in the sector, after a public consultation process carried out between January and March 2026. To review the regulatory modifications in detail, you can consult the following link: https://www.gob.pe/es/l/8056789
