Response from the competent authority: 'Response by the Ministry of the Environment
  and Spatial Planning:Answer to the first part of the question:Under the previously
  applicable Water Act (Official Gazette of the SRS, No 38/81), the power to establish
  protection zones and measures to safeguard water supplies in the drinking water
  catchment area rested with the municipalities. The municipal assemblies thus established
  the protection zones and measures by decree. With the Water Act of 2002, the power
  to establish water protection regimes was transferred to the national level. However,
  Article 216 of the above-mentioned Law states that, although the local government
  regulations adopted on the basis of Articles 57, 58, 60 and 66 of the old Water
  Act (Official Gazette of the SRS, No 38/81, 29/86 and Official Gazette of the RS,
  No 15/91 and 52/2000) shall cease to apply as of the date of entry into force of
  the Water Act, they shall remain applicable until the adoption of the regulations
  referred to in Articles 209 and 210 of the Water Act. This means that the provisions
  of the municipal ordinances apply until their application is terminated by a new
  governmental act on insurance and cannot be amended or corrected. The Ministry of
  Environment and Spatial Planning is also not competent to interpret the provisions
  of municipal ordinances. The Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning is
  also preparing a Regulation amending the Regulation on criteria for the designation
  of a water protection area, namely the existing Annex 1: Prohibitions, restrictions
  and protective measures for environmental interventions according to the degree
  of protection in inland areas, will be replaced by a new Annex 1. The amendment
  to the Regulation is a consequence of the adoption of the Regulation on the classification
  of facilities according to the complexity of construction (Official Gazette of the
  Republic of Slovenia, No. 18/13, 24/13 and 26/13), which added and excluded certain
  facilities and processes. At the same time, the amendment will also eliminate ambiguities
  arising from the application of the current Regulation.The Ministry of the Environment
  and Spatial Planning is also speeding up the preparation of new regulations on water
  protection zones.Answer to the second part of the question: the Ministry of the
  Environment and Spatial Planning is planning to amend this year the regulations
  on the discharge of wastewater (i.e. The Ministry of Environment and Rural Development
  is planning to amend in the next year the regulations relating to the discharge
  of waste water from municipal and small municipal waste water treatment plants,
  as well as the regulations on the discharge and treatment of municipal and rainwater)
  and, on the basis of these regulations, to amend the Operational Programme for the
  Discharge and Treatment of Municipal Waste Water (OPWWTP).'
