The Socialists report through a statement that "it was now when it has been reported that Urbaser and the mayor have agreed to extend the concession contract until 2032, although negotiations began several months ago and indeed the agreement of the Local Government Board, chaired by the mayor on June 25 authorizing the company to raise rates by 35% was a prerequisite for Urbaser. "
"We should still remember a few weeks ago the High Court of Justice in Murcia made it illegal in terms similar agreement between the City of Santomera and another steel company," they add.
Socialists insist that "are the citizens who bear the brunt of the agreements between Urbaser and the mayor, and begin to make immediate and obvious way."
The socialists want to warn the citizens of the increases that will apply to them and say that "those who consume less than 60 m3 and now pay 0.83 euro cents per m3, will pay the next bills 1, 30 euros per m3. Those who consume between 60 and 100 m3 will pay 1.04 to 1.41 euros per m3, 101 and 250 m3 of consumption will increase from 1.45 to 1.97 and if euros/m3 consumes more than 250 m3 rate rises from 1.56 to 2.12 euros / m3. Another neighbors who use the deposit will Virgen de las Huertas as a function of current consumption rates were also up by 35% " .
The Socialist Party believes that "the rise in water rates is disproportionate, does not respond to any technical criteria, and only responds to the commercial interests of Urbaser and mayor need to agree with them to give it more than 6 million euros. "
