- Angeles Micol highlights the need to "give legal certainty to the performance of the Consistory in this area"

NOW MURCIA reminds the municipal government that it can not allocate public money to works in traditional irrigation channels in soils or properties that are not municipal.

"It can only do so in a subsidiary way and following the legal procedure established," says the mayor Angeles Micol, who recalls that "we have been finding in the last years a series of works and performances in the traditional irrigation channels of the orchard, promoted From the municipal boards and from the councils, which we believe should be clarified and ordered. "

With this objective Now Murcia will take a motion to the next Plenary so that no public money is used to finance works on such channels in soils or in properties that are not municipal.

"Any type of action must follow procedures, such as when acting on the plot of a private owner," says Micol, who points out that these ditches, bracers, azarbes and channels of the traditional hydraulic network, as well as their chiyers and Margins, "are private lands owned by inheritors and irrigators, in accordance with the Civil Code, the Water Law, the Public Hydraulic Domain Regulation, and the Ordinances and Customs of the Huerta de Murcia.

Therefore, as the councilor points out, "these properties and their land can not be disposed of if it is not following the general regulations for any work that this City Council intends to carry out on land that is not municipal property."

"That is to say," points out Micol, "any attempt to build or occupy the floors of the water network and its margins must be carried out according to the provisions of the Ordinances and Customs of the Huerta de Murcia, as well as in the General Plan Urban Planning (PGOU) ".

"We believe that it is necessary to give legal certainty to the action of the City Council in this area," adds the councilor, who assures that "in addition, it is a question of preventing the payment of money from the City Council works in irrigation channels for which the Board Of hacendados already charges the irrigators in their receipts, otherwise the orchards could be paying twice for the same works, once as irrigators and another as citizens with their taxes.
