Water Regulations (Prevention of Water Pollution) (Gasoline Stations), 1997
Updated: 26/01/2010

These regulations, under the Water Law and the Licensing of Businesses Law, require specific conditions for the establishment and operation of gas stations. These include: installation of fuel-water separators, use of impermeable construction materials, special measures and equipment to prevent leakage and oil pollution, measures for protection against corrosion, and monitoring equipment and procedures. A primary requirement is for tanks to be installed in sealed dikes or double wall containers in accordance with established specifications. Other provisions relate to periodic leakage tests, measures to be taken in case of fuel leakage including reporting obligations and treatment, and requirements for permanently shutting down facilities. Additional measures are required in areas that are especially sensitive to pollution of water sources.
