"The City of Cartagena under no circumstances will accept the tariff proposal" of the water offered by Hidrogea.
The Mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, has just started her appearance after the meeting held this Tuesday with the heads of the water concessionaire.
The first mayor recalled that this tariff proposal was dismissed by the Government Board last September.
Castejón pointed out that he considers the reduction of the invoice to be insufficient, which finally translated into approximately 2 euros in the framework of an average family of four members.
That is why he has demanded from the company managers "a new rate", which he wants next week on his table.
"I have made it very clear," said the mayor.
"I am not going away to the report of the technicians of the City council on the basis of which the Board of Government dismissed the tariff", has argued.
Ana Belén Castejón wants the new proposal to arrive soon, with "agility", and to be advantageous for the citizens of Cartagena.
"It is an issue that can not wait, I do not want to delay further," said the councilor, who has advanced that on this same day will meet with the spokesman of Citizens, Manuel Padin, to inform you about the content of the meeting .
"Citizens can not wait any longer and we have to lower the water bill", the first mayor explained.
"We are not going to settle for the proposal they made in their day," he reiterated.
His intention is that the decline is, at least, "something more than double" than suggested so far, although nuanced that should "be based on the world of the possible and the real."
On the other hand, the mayor has also reported that Hidrogea officials have notified him that the concessionaire has filed a lawsuit against the City Council.
Given the relevance of the issue, as well as the interest it raises for the citizenship of the municipality, Ana Belén Castejón has anticipated that in the coming days and weeks she will periodically summon the media to keep them informed in a detailed manner about the evolution of the negotiations with the concessionaire
"I will not take months and months to entertain the officials, who have a lot to do, who have done a great job, and who deserve to see the fruit of these reports," the mayor once said. moment has emphasized that its main purpose is to achieve the goal of lowering water in a manner consistent with current legislation and also in a sufficient percentage.
