Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Lovforslaget følger op på "Aftale om udvikling og fremme af brint og grønne brændstoffer" fra den 15. marts 2022 (S, V, SF, RV, EL, KF, DF, LA og ALT). Formålet med lovforslaget er at skabe klare rammevilkår for forsyningen af teknisk vand, herunder at teknisk vand-selskaber ikke omfattes af hvile i sig selv-princippet, forsyningspligt, krav om kommunal godkendelse af takster og leveringsbetingelser m.v. Teknisk vand omfatter andet vand end drikkevand, f.eks. renset spildevand, forurenet grundvand eller havvand.
