The profile of families who need help Cartagena has changed, now that a few years families had a job and could meet their economic needs, but now the situation is quite different, so we try to help them meet those payments , occasionally, they can not attend.
This, according to the mayor, Pilar Barreiro, is the premise on which part of the agreement between the City and Aquagest Murcia, who this morning signed their own mayor and the director of the company responsible for municipal water supply in Cartagena, Fulgencio Diaz ceremony also attended by the Councillor for Social Care, Antonio Calderon and Aquagest regional director, Javier Ybarra.
Through this agreement, renewable for four years, who passed through governing board last week, is established, then, a social fund of 157,000 euros for 2013, with effect from January, with which cater to those families who request to pay water and sewer bills.
Technicians Social Services is responsible for case-by-case and report to rule if they meet the requirements, so as to prevent fraud.
As noted Pilar Barreiro, no fixed criteria, we try to help families in need that, occasionally, they can not make payments, each has its situation, which is different from the other, so there can be put in a box and make figures with them.
Meanwhile, Fulgencio Diaz stressed that this agreement is another tool to help in this economic crisis which we live, and the amount that has been built into this fund is not fixed, but that will be studied each year.
MEDIA QUESTIONS
The questions raised by the media, the mayor has hinted at two issues.
On one hand, water infrastructure in the municipality, according to Pilar Barreiro have proven to be modern and efficient (water losses are minimal, with an efficiency of 89 percent), thanks to continued investment.
On the other hand, the submarine S-80 that builds Navantia.
In this regard, the mayor has said that he is the one who has to assess the professional capacity of the company and that his concern is to alleviate the workload down by failures in the S80 with the large fairing Tramontana, whereupon the Defence and Finance Ministers have been very receptive.
