The by-law was replaced by a new one in 2004. The new by-law was adopted on 31 December 2004, and published in Official Gazette no. 25687. On 13 February 2008, an amendment was made to the by-law,114 bringing it fully in line with EU legislation.

Article 51 of the new version of the Water Pollution Control By-law provides a good summary of the authorities responsible for inspection and monitoring, and is worth quoting at length. It reads:

With regards to wastewater discharges into receiving bodies, in accordance with the Environment Law and the Law on Organization and Duties of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, the Ministry (MoEU) is authorized. In provinces, this authority is used by provincial directorates of the Ministry.

In accordance with Act no. 2560, metropolitan municipalities are responsible for inspection activities concerning inland surface water basins which supply water for metropoles.

In accordance with the Environment Law, provincial directorates of the MoEF are responsible for the inspection activities concerning water basins which supply water for settlements other than metropolitan municipalities.

Provincial directorates of MoEF (Ministry of Environment and Urbanization) are responsible for the inspection activities concerning the prescriptions laid out in discharge permissions and deep sea discharge permissions.
