The secretary general of the Socialists of Totana, Juan Fco Otálora, believes that "the explanations so far has been the mayor of the brutal rise in water charges are lies, something that he usually does the highest municipal authority ".
The Socialist leader said that "although the mayor implied in a press release that higher rates occurred in full with the abstention of PSOE and IU, it is absolutely false and is easily demonstrated, since This increase was previously agreed between the mayor and Urbaser and materialized in the Local Government Board, which are represented only the council of the PP, the 25th of June. "
"These tests can check for any citizen of just reviewing the minutes of that meeting that is held by the PSOE and available to anyone who wants to see her, and is exhibited in the City Hall bulletin board, as is mandatory," he also added.
Otalora said that "although the mayor says the rise is due solely to increased rates of Taibillla Channel Commonwealth, a body under the Ministry of Environment, also fails to say that he himself belongs to the Assembly, as well as other municipalities that are supplied Taibilla Channels. "
It further states that "this body up rates on July 1, 2008, and currently charges the municipalities supplied by m3 0.5426 cents.
However with the increase decided by the mayor, the city will charge residents the m3 supplied in a range that goes from 1.13 euros to 2.54 euros.
That is a 109.26% increase for the lowest rates and 370% more for higher ground. "
Otalora said that "the greatest impact on the rise in water bills correspond to concepts that have nothing to do with the Commonwealth Taibilla Channel, as the fixed fee for maintenance of laterals, the sanitation fee or different fees that the council charges for the amortization of investments in water supply and sanitation networks. "
The socialist council concluded by saying that "Andreo lies to justify an increase for totaneros stifling and that it has approved submitting to the demands of Urbaser, which is using the weakness of the mayor and the municipal government for all its claims.
The big losers of this mayor unworthy and incapable of making good management, we will be neighbors again Totana to pay much more in our water bills. "
