City (MC), motion will ask the full City Council instituting the proceedings for the return of the premium charged to Cartagena water bill in 2013, and to conduct serious study to the present 2014, in order to consciously avoid overloading the Cartagena with prices above those detraerían if at least pretendieran rate studies meet the balance of the grant.
As happened with the settlement of 2012 the dealership from the municipal water Hidrogea before Aquagest, MC warned by the provisional liquidation of the company in 2013 with the City, that the increase in consumption for the year was higher than anticipated by the concessionaire to the study of rate, resulting in as in the previous year, the company has gained more users.
MC has been known that the number of fee to be paid by the concessionaire to the City is 334,000 euros, corresponding to billing users of 20,163,693 m3, which are 2,685,904 m3 above forecasts 2013 rate study and 15.37% above the estimated rate setting.
In 2012 it was said that the surplus was EUR 4.3 million, corresponding to 1 per m3 billed above forecasts.
Following this rule, the surplus in 2013 was 2.7 million.
For José López, mayor of MC, "while Cartagena charged water more expensive in Spain and our City Council calls for new loans and broad limits and shortcomings of existing permits Ms. Barreiro, with the quiet of his Councillor of Finance and other acolytes, which collected 4.3 million euros more in 2012 and collected approximately 2.7 million more in 2013 and had to be admitted to the municipal accounts by 15 January this year, are spent without municipal control, giving to the dealership earn 980,000 euros for hiring and managing works, be directly hired by the municipal officers, amply trained for it, and through a public competition, would the pockets of the City of Cartagena would have more than a million euros extra, telling that 2% of income tax also pay them, plus the award by public tender, would more control of contracts and lower cost thereof. "
Therefore, Lopez added that "from Citizens Movement believe that was already excessive tax collection increased pressure past 2012 and more specifically was and still is the excessive price paid for water in our town, the most expensive in Spain , as we leave that for the second consecutive year, the concessionaire of the water service and the city back to collect more in user fees, but once demonstrated and quantified this premium, we require team government not to execute works these "unforeseen perils or" benefits, nor are they one thing nor the other, are clearly a theft from the tattered pockets of Cartagena, theft also spoiled by our City. "
MUNICIPAL AUDITOR'S REPORT
The surplus was detected in 2012 and had not returned either in time or in the manner that it considers the contract amounted to 4.3 million euros, and if we ignore the report that once held the City Auditor, in which he said that the administration and in this case the City Council should be responsible for bringing the administrative procurement records concerning the alleged works is said to want to make, rather it is the concessionaire which be responsible for hiring such works, it can not fall into the same behavior as last year.
The Auditor's report indicated what to do with those "unforeseen perils or" unusually large profits.
First recognizes that the surplus can be used for works that involve a service improvement, but also to reduce the price paid by citizens.
And attached to the City the power to decide their fate, according to their policy priorities.
Remember that each work that is contracted by the concessionaire water service instead of being hired by our council, the price of it is more expensive by 14% industrial benefit that has Hidrogea on his contract, plus 2 % corporate tax.
