The Governing Board has approved the collaboration agreement to apply the reduced receipt in 2019, which covers the minimum domiciliary supply according to the number of people who make up the family unit up to a maximum of 110 liters per inhabitant per day

Rates of a social nature

This agreement is complemented by the new social rates approved last month by the City Council for water and sewerage consumption for families at risk of exclusion, which will be reduced by 25%.

This percentage will also apply to the garbage rate, provided that the sum of all the income of the members that inhabit the house does not exceed the SMI.

With respect to the amortization of the old debt -of more than six months- it will affect those who access the social rate.

For the less than half a year, the circumstances of each person will be met, but the supply cut will never be executed nor will legal actions be taken to recover it while the situation that gives the right to access the social rate lasts.
