The more than 1,900 families without resources from Cartagena who have benefited from the years 2015 and 2016 will not be able to continue receiving during 2017 the aid to pay the receipt of the water offered by the Social Fund launched by the City of Cartagena in 2013 .
Citizen Movement is blocking the extension of this Social Fund which was included in the annual liquidations of the service and water tariffs and has remained in force until the end of this year 2016. Therefore, all applications arriving at offices Of Hydrogea from next January can not be processed for approval.
Since this Social Fund was launched in 2013, 22,000 receipts have been forgiven and more than 6,000 Cartagena families have been helped without resources.
This agreement between Ayuntamiento and Hidrogea allowed to help those who needed it the most since, although the procedures are carried out from the company, it is the City Council itself, through the Department of Social Affairs, which determines which families are the recipients and who are maintained Over the years.
