The Peruvian government is seeking legal authority to implement a national water subsidy program. This plan proposes a cross-subsidy system where users with higher incomes would help finance water bills and new connections for vulnerable households. Currently, the Sunass agency provides subsidies, but the government aims to expand this support nationwide. The initiative, part of a broader request for delegated powers, specifically targets assisting low-income families with access to essential water services. By funding new connections, the program also intends to extend water access to households living in poverty. This measure aims to address inequalities in access to water and ensure affordability for all citizens. The proposal represents a significant shift in national water policy and a commitment to social welfare.
