The City of Cartagena is finalizing the drafting of an agreement whose main objective is to reduce the water bill in the hotel establishments of the municipality and which will be signed in the coming weeks with the Association of Hotels and Tourist Lodgings of Cartagena and Comarca.

As confirmed by the mayor Ana Belén Castejón, from the signing of this agreement the hotels will stop paying the current domestic rate and will go to the industrial one.

It would go from the largest section of domestic tariff of 2.20 euros to an industrial without sections whose amount amounts to 1.34 euros per cubic meter.

"Until now the hotels paid practically the same as a house and this measure will mean a reduction of about 40% in the rate," said the mayor.

This agreement is one of the measures that the government team wants to put in place to help the tourism sector, as well as the 50% reduction in the work licenses that is in force.

This agreement will include:

The installation of new water meters with remote reading system, for the hotels that make up the group.

Daily reading of meters through the remote reading system, offering the possibility of consulting daily consumption through a web page enabled to customers with restricted access to each user and in accordance with the provisions of the Organic Law on Data Protection .

Creation of a system of consumption alarms according to the parameters that are designated by the users.

Application of Industrial Rate for those hotels that do not have it yet.

Monthly billing system, more in line with your accounting needs for those who request it.

With this action, the City Council responds to a historic claim by hotel entrepreneurs in the municipality.

It should be remembered that last week opened the LoopINN hostel with 160 rooms, a hotel is being built in Los Urrutias with 400 seats, and there are several projects of this type under study, which will be a strong boost for the competitiveness of our tourism industry.
