4. Every person whose activity results in the use of a daily volume of water equal to or greater than 50,000 litres, at least 1 day in a calendar year, is subject to charges for the use of water for that year and remains so for any subsequent year in which the same activity results in the use of water, regardless of the volume.

The daily volume is determined by adding up, each time that more than one waterworks system, withdrawal site, or groundwater lowering or diversion site is connected to a single establishment, all the volumes of water used from each system or site or, in the cases and in accordance with the conditions provided for in section 8.1, all the volumes of water that may be withdrawn under the authorizations of the establishment issued under section 22 of the Act or the withdrawal rated capacity of all of the establishment’s withdrawal facilities or equipment. Establishments whose activities are related or complementary to one another and are under the responsibility of one person are considered to be part of the same establishment.

Charges are established on the basis of the volume of water used in a year.
