The municipal government team has found it necessary to refute the statements made ​​by the United Left group in municipal media alleging that the real rise of water in the municipality of Cartagena would be 31 percent by application of new assumptions about consumption blocks approved by the City Council.

The government team is reaffirmed in the information provided to the media when they were presented and approved by the Governing Board to update these rates and then encrypt the increase of 3.2 percent.

It is true that the City has authorized Aquagest to modify the rate structure, ie, segments or blocks of consumption, which remain unchanged from the source.

In this regard the government team wants to clarify that the only modifications that have been introduced in these sections or blocks of consumption have been free to apply for pensioners, who was first in 9 m3 per two months, then switched to 11 and now in 13 m3 per quarter.

What was approved by the Local Government Board was an increase of 3.2 percent of the price of each tranche of consumption and the fixed fee charged depending on the size of the counter.

This is reflected in the summary table below:

EXAMPLES WRONG

Nor are some examples that put the United Left, based on the exclusion of the fixed part of their calculations:

United Left gives the example of a typical family with a bi-monthly consumption of 33 m3, which he says will happen to pay 47.51 euros in the bi-monthly bill 62.24 euros, 14.73 euros which is more or relative terms by 31%.

For the government team is erroneous figures and calculations as:

With the rate of 2011 would pay the two months:

For fixed rate: 7.1682 euros per month x 2 months = 14.3364 eurosPor share of consumption: Up to 9 m3 in 2 months: 0.4963 euros per m3 x 9 m3 = 4.4667 m3 eurosHasta 27 in 2 months: 1 , 6521 euros per m3 m3 = 29.7378 x 18 euros up to 80 m3 in 2 months: 2.2163 euros per m3 x 6 m3 = 13.2978 euros

The total bill is (14.3364 + 4.4667 + 29.7378 + 13.2978) = 61.8387 euros per quarter.

The difference between this figure to 47.51 he says corresponds to the fixed fee, not included in their calculations.

In 2012 the rate of pay at two months:

For fixed rate: 7.3976 euros per month x 2 months = 14.7952 eurosPor share of consumption: Up to 9 m3 in 2 months: 0.5122 euros per m3 x 9 m3 = 4.6098 m3 eurosHasta 27 in 2 months: 1 , 7050 euros per m3 m3 = 30.6900 x 18 euros up to 80 m3 in 2 months: 2.2872 euros per m3 x 6 m3 = 13.7232 euros

The total bill is (14.7952 + 4.6098 + 30.6900 + 13.7232) = 63.8182 euros per quarter.

Comparing 2012 with the receipt of the 2011 is 1.9795 euros of difference or, in relative terms, the 3.2% approved.

Another example he gives is the rise in United Left that will support those with lower consumption, especially widows and people living alone, who in the first block of 4.47 euros to spend two months to 10.

The verification of the government team is as follows:

With the rate of 2011 would pay the two months:

For fixed rate: 7.1682 euros per month x 2 months = 14.3364 eurosPor share of consumption: Up to 9 m3 in 2 months: EUR 0.4963 m3 = 4.4667 m3 x 9 euros

The total bill is (14.3364 + 4.4667) = 18.8031 euros per quarter.

The difference between this figure to the 4.47 he says corresponds to the fixed fee, not included in their calculations.

In 2012 the rate of pay at two months:

For fixed rate: 7.3976 euros per month x 2 months = 14.7952 eurosPor share of consumption: Up to 9 m3 in 2 months: EUR 0.5122 m3 = 4.6098 m3 x 9 euros

The total bill is (14.7952 + 4.6098) = 19.4050 euros per quarter.

Comparing 2012 with the receipt of the 2011 is 0.6019 euros of difference or, in relative terms, the 3.2% approved.

Finally gives an example of consumption of 40 m3 per quarter and said that happens to pay 63.02 euros to 78.25.

The verification of the government team is as follows:

With the rate of 2011 would pay the two months:

For fixed rate: 7.1682 euros per month x 2 months = 14.3364 eurosPor share of consumption: Up to 9 m3 in 2 months: 0.4963 euros per m3 x 9 m3 = 4.4667 m3 eurosHasta 27 in 2 months: 1 , 6521 euros per m3 m3 = 29.7378 x 18 euros up to 80 m3 in 2 months: 2.2163 euros per m3 x 13 m3 = 28.8119 euros

The total bill is (14.3364 + 4.4667 + 29.7378 + 28.8119) = 7 7.3528 euros per quarter.

The difference between this figure to 63.02 he says corresponds to the fixed fee, not included in their calculations.

In 2012 the rate of pay at two months:

For fixed rate: 7.3976 euros per month x 2 months = 14.7952 eurosPor share of consumption: Up to 9 m3 in 2 months: 0.5122 euros per m3 x 9 m3 = 4.6098 m3 eurosHasta 27 in 2 months: 1 , 7050 euros per m3 m3 = 30.6900 x 18 euros up to 80 m3 in 2 months: 2.2872 euros per m3 x 13 m3 = 29.7336 euros

Comparing 2012 with the receipt of the 2011 is 2.4758 euros of difference or, in relative terms, again, the 3.2% approved.
