This structure does not affect water consumption and penalizes responsible for the abuse
The Councillor for Environment and Urban Quality, Adela Martinez-Cacho, explained, after the information posted on the legality of charges for water, that "the tariff structure has remained unchanged since it was established by the PSOE in the second half of 1989 and in these more than ten years had never been questioned. "
The mayor added that "this high consumption penalty only affects 6% of the customers and does not affect responsible consumption (94% of remaining customers)."
According to Martinez-Cache, "the legal services of the company Aguas de Murcia are considering an appeal the ruling of the High Court, since this ruling is not final, because as it takes, it should file an appeal before the Supreme Court. We must wait for the outcome of these resources and, when finalized, will apply the outcome. "
Thus, "if finally set aside the current structure, the vast majority of customers do not affect them."
The council has explained further that "the decision of the Supreme Court of Murcia, cancels and supersedes the order 2 December 2005 the Ministry of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, by authorizing municipal service fees Township Water Murcia, referring only to those applied in 2006 "
According to Martinez-cache "we are convinced that the pricing system is appropriate for a city with limited water resources, penalizing the abusive consumption of any other system could be valid, but would not meet this principle, and therefore consume the least, most Murcia household, would be harmed.
