On 20 July 2017 the Water Law Act was adopted[1]. This act introduced a number of innovative solutions that were completely new to the Polish legislative system. A complete novelty is, for instance, solutions regarding payment for water services or the implementation of certain solutions in the area of water protection and management. Other innovative solutions refer to the entity named Państwowe Gospodarstwo Wodne Wody Polskie (State Water Holding – Polish Waters). The legislator called it Wody Polskie (Polish Waters) for short.This article will present issues concerning that entity. It will cover the legal status of the entity, its tasks, powers and responsibilities, as well as structure.[1] Journal of Laws of 2017 item 1566, with further amendments
