FULL PRESS RELEASE 12.07.2010 CDL

The council of the Working Group voted against the rising water by 26%, to be implemented in the last quarter of the year, accusing the government team and especially the council of finance, of mismanagement by not knowing how to negotiate with Urbaser and have led to their silence that this company has led the council to court for breach of contract, having won his appeal.

Now a decision by a judge forces us to revise the rates, according to what was claimed by the concessionaire of water supply, based on a contract at all favorable to our interests, signed 16 years ago.

Said he did not understand why we need to raise the quarterly service fee at the same rate that raises the m3 of water, ie by 26%.

This is where this company will do a roaring trade thanks to the housing estates and Condado de Alhama which consume only water during most of the year in which they are uninhabited, but they should pay service fee.

He asked the government team which has helped delay the increase for now build three at once and why not negotiated with the concessionaire some agreement to prevent submit an administrative appeal.

Considered that there is a lack of diligence and ability to negotiate and therefore asked the mayor to identify responsibilities policies.

He concluded by acknowledging that our City Council has no choice but to comply with court ruling that forces us to raise the water, but does not believe the time is right for a family of 4 members, with a quarterly consumption of 40 m3, suffer a higher 13 euros in the next bill, as proposed to the mayor to negotiate with the company on payment of arrears owed to it and then sit down and discuss a new ordinance for the year 2011 in which it could consider revision of rates, making study together, so that we could reduce the impact of rising to the families who consume less.

Regarding the proposed increase in the price of school children, caused by lack of funding for the region and the launch of the new focus on children in The Cherry acknowledged that it is unfair and too costly for municipal coffers defray 60% of the cost of a square (which is € 156 per month), a service that is not the City itself, which would increase the running costs and would be met from taxes of all users of the service , regardless of whether they were offered sufficient financial resources to cope with rates more in line with actual cost.

Of course that would establish a system of bonuses and rebates for families with lower incomes, in order not to prevent anyone access to this early childhood education 0-3 years for lack of funds, something that was committed mayor.

Finally at the point of economic claim Urbaser we make over 105 million pesetas.

payment of additional fees for winning a bonus of benefits have gone from 9,211 subscribers since 2001, held that this claim should have been done before and so could have been used as a weapon to a possible deal in the sense of offset income from this levy the tariff increase has been calling us.
