The October 24 Board of Directors was held in the joint venture "Aguas de Jumilla".
It was attended by the mayor, the spokespersons of the city, the City Clerk and representatives of Aguas de Jumilla.
In this workshop highlighted the passing of water and sewer rates for 2009 and the suppression of charge at the offices of Aguas de Jumilla.
As for the approval of the Water and Sewer rates for 2009, we must distinguish two rates: one for users and customers of water and other non-domestic customers to allocate water for domestic use.
As for non-domestic use, referred to small businesses and industries, has reduced the quarterly minimum of 90 cubic meters, setting it at 30 cubic meters, so there is a discount of 78 euros per quarter for water and sewerage to 26 euros, a reduction of more than 50 euros per quarter.
According to Francisco Abellán added "this is offset by a revision of rates for certain industries, with the addition of Marble Range industries and changing the prices of the industries of the Romerales Jumillano Polygon."
On the latter, the highest local authority has stated that "in this estate was a special regime, with this new revision, only one of the owners will pay more, but the rest will have a considerable reduction, approximately 27% from 41 euros to 26 euros. "
User fees on water for domestic use, ie in homes, they increase with the regional annual CPI in September is 4.4%.
In this regard, the mayor noted that "there can be more economical, because when you signed the contract with Aguas de Jumilla this increase was established for at least 25 years of existence."
The other point discussed in this Water Board of Jumilla has been on the abolition of the collection of water bills at the offices of Aguas de Jumilla.
Thus, from now on will not collect the receipt in the office "so as to avoid contact with money and the risk that entails," said Abellán.
Thus, we propose a charging system that can be: transfer, has enabled credit card and postal boxes, among others.
