The Socialists say in a statement that "since January of 2003 the City charges a fee to residents in the water bill to be allocated to pay for investments to improve water supply.
This fee was introduced in order to have an annual money to ensure the smooth running of service, reduce breakdowns and avoid wasting water. "
They also state that "the recent rise in the water, the city charges residents € 0.15 per m3 of water consumed over a quarterly fee of 9.33 euros per subscriber, which means an annual income close to a million euros" .
They also explained that "despite having secured these revenues since 2003 in November 2007 contracted a loan PP, days before the operation started Totem, which now we have learned, amounting to EUR 1.856 million Urbaser company.
Recently he has signed a contract extension with Urbaser that the PSOE is illegal, which provides for a loan of 4,000,000 euros to improve the water network with a performance for the company exceeding 19%. "
The PSOE wants the mayor to give explanations of "what are you spending money collected in the water bill to improve the networks, since all the improvements made to date and planned future of being financed with loans Urbaser company. "
According to the PSOE "there is another aggravating circumstance and illegal, and that money pays Urbaser the council for improvements to the network running the same company without any public assembly, as is mandatory under the Law of Contracts Public Sector.
Ie, the city hires these works with Urbaser a finger. "
The PSOE has assured that "if all these works had gone out to tender, as required, they would run at a lower cost to the council and a greater benefit to the neighbors."
The socialists conclude by stating that "this web of speculation leads to a clear detriment to the interests of the council and therefore all the neighbors, and that contract Urbaser loans at a very high interest and work is carried out at a much higher price the market. "
