Article​​​​​​​ 66. Water use agreement

Water use is carried out on the basis of a water use agreement concluded between the water supply organization and the water user.

The water supply organization, upon receiving an application from water users, must conclude a water use agreement with them if they are located in the serviced area and have a water intake quota.

The water use agreement stipulates the water intake quotas, the annual or seasonal limits of water volumes to be supplied, the amounts and mechanisms of payment for water supply, other conditions for water supply, as well as the mechanisms for making changes depending on the rights and obligations of the parties.

The standard forms of a water use agreement are approved by the Ministry of Water Resources of the Republic of Uzbekistan (with the exception of drinking and domestic water supply) in agreement with the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change of the Republic of Uzbekistan (for water intake from natural water objects), the Ministry of Mining and Geology of the Republic of Uzbekistan (for water intake from underground waters), as well as the Committee for Competition Development and Consumer Protection of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

When concluding a water use agreement, the existence of a water intake quota is a mandatory requirement.

The rights, obligations, and liability of the parties are determined in the water use agreement in accordance with the requirements of this Code and other legislative acts.
