- Improvements in the pumping station of the Plaza de España, the sanitation service in Perín and Los Batos, the storm tank in the Mandarache area, the rainwater interceptor in the center, or the wastewater pumping systems and sludge for Isla Plana and Cabo de Palos, have been waiting for years for the release of millionaire funds

- "If the Water Board is not convened soon, or this issue is not addressed in the Extraordinary Water Plenary on January 18, we will take a battery of questions to the next ordinary plenary session to try to understand what is happening, and above all to know the deadlines in which all these investments can be executed ", announced the spokesman for Citizens, Manuel Padín

The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena has assured today through a statement that once approved the reduction in the receipt of water, it is essential to clarify what happens with the surplus money of the concessionaire between 2011 and 2017 and unclog the blockade of millionaire investments to improve the supply network, sanitation and rainwater collection throughout the municipality.

The orange training calculates that there are between 3.5 and 4 million euros, charged to the surplus, pending that they can be invested.

The local spokesman of Cs has explained that there are executions that can not wait any longer as the improvements in the Wastewater Pumping Station (EBAR) of the Plaza de España, "which as explained by the former mayor of Cartagena requires expanding its capacity to substantially reduce discharges in La Algameca when there is a breakdown or heavy rains arrive ".

It was the company's own technicians who listed some of the most urgent tasks, "in addition to the necessary renovation of obsolete networks, it is necessary a tank of storms in the Mandarache area to reduce the risk of flooding, start underground boreholes for the drafting of the pluvial interceptor project on Salamanca Street, or provide the sanitation service to Perín, Galifa and Los Beatos ".

"In addition, we can not forget the generation of employment that occurs with the execution of these works that are covered especially with professionals from Cartagena," said Padin.

The spokesman for Citizens stressed that "it is important the execution of these works, but also the inspection to the millimeter of the process that is chosen for its bidding so that all the criteria of transparency, publicity and justice that we can demand, either aa through the company or the City Council itself ".

On the other hand, there has been another blockade for more than two years, this time caused by the delay in updating the agreement with the Regional Wastewater Treatment and Sanitation Entity (Esamur), and for which it has stopped investing 1, 5 million euros, at least, that would go towards the replacement of collectors, the cleaning of facilities, and the construction of wastewater and sludge treatment systems in Isla Plana, Cabo de Palos, or La Manga, as recently reported the newspaper La Verdad, "said the orange spokesman, who hopes" that this delay serves at least to have a much more advantageous agreement for Cartagena. "

"We are talking about priority works to avoid the collapse of our sewerage, sanitation and purification networks with a total value of 5.5 million euros that have not been able to be executed, fundamentally, by a local policy incapable of reaching agreements and that he prefers the controversy to the solutions acting in this way against the general interest of Cartagena ", assured Manuel Padín who has summoned the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, to explain as soon as possible the situation in which these economic reserves are already give an approximate date for their release.

"If the Water Board is not convened soon, or this point is not addressed at the extraordinary Water Plenary on January 18, we will bring a battery of questions to the next ordinary session to try to understand what is happening, and above all to know the deadlines in which all these investments can be executed ", announced the spokesman for Citizens.
