Law No. 2008-59 of September 24, 2008, establishes the legal framework for the public service of drinking water and collective domestic wastewater sanitation in Senegal. It organizes the service across urban and rural areas, distinguishing between 'conceded centers' and 'non-conceded centers' to account for the social nature of water in rural populations. The law defines the roles of the delegating authority (the State), the delegates (public or private entities), and the regulatory mechanisms used to ensure service continuity, financial viability, and performance.

• The law establishes a distinction between 'conceded centers' and 'non-conceded centers' to recognize the social character of water for rural populations and the different financial equilibrium and contractual requirements needed for rural public water services.
• The State serves as the primary delegating authority for drinking water and collective sanitation services, though it may delegate this function to local authorities or groups of local authorities in non-conceded centers.
• Management delegations can take three primary contractual forms with specific maximum durations: concessions (up to 30 years), lease-operations or 'affermage' (up to 15 years), and management contracts or 'régie' (up to 5 years).
• In conceded centers, water tariffs must maintain the financial balance of the sector and must include a 'social bracket' for domestic consumption, with rates set by decree.
• A specialized Interministerial Monitoring and Control Committee is responsible for overseeing the execution of contracts in conceded centers, including approving investment plans and resolving conflicts between sector actors.
• The law mandates that all revenues collected from public drinking water and collective sanitation services must be fully allocated back to their respective sectors.
• The law requires that existing contracts and organizations, specifically the Société Nationale des Eaux du Sénégal (SONES) and the Office National de l’Assainissement du Sénégal (ONAS), be brought into conformity with this law within 12 months of its promulgation.
