| The municipal government gave the Cartagena businesses that were forced to close during the State of Alarm decreed by the COVID pandemic 19 | The City Council has received, up to now, a total of 300 applications from companies requesting to benefit from the Social Water Fund, of which 200 already have all the documentation in order and their files are already being processed.Since April 29, all businesses that were forced to close as a result of the Decree of the State of Alarm on March 14 due to the COVID19 pandemic, can request the exemption of receipt of water and garbage, after the modification that the government team has made in the Social Water Fund to include them, as it promised with the business representatives.Most of the businesses that have asked to take advantage of this measure from the municipal government are hospitality and retail.Mayor Ana Belén Castejón explained that “the Local Development and Employment Agency is in charge of studying all the documentation presented by each of the affected companies that has requested the exemption, along with finance technicians.

Our intention is to speed up the process as much as possible, so that all eligible businessmen receive the help they need to get their businesses afloat and achieve liquidity.

”Despite the fact that the term began on April 29, the files that are approved will definitely be retroactive, so they will be exempt from payment from March 15, 2020 until the New Normal Decree comes into force.The maximum amount of aid that each business can receive amounts to 1,000 euros and can be requested up to 30 days after the complete removal of the Alarm State.In this sense, the Local Government Board has approved several modifications that allow more companies to benefit from these grants.
