The Board of Directors of Aguas de Murcia, at its meeting this week, has adopted several measures to support the neediest families.
The first of these measures is the inclusion of a social tariff to ensure support for low-income families.
Thus social funds 300,000 euros to continue supporting the poorest families are increased.
The social fund was created two years ago to service the debt by water bills of the most disadvantaged families.
Last year the fund reached 226,000 euros, and 935 families benefited him.
Discounts for large families and pensioners are also maintained.
On the other hand, has been given the green light to reduced rates caused by rising water table in their garages and that has affected thousands of families.
For these cases reduccíión approved a 30% rate.
Furthermore a system of flat rate of five dollars per month to the most vulnerable families who exceed the consumption of 110 liters per household member per day may benefit unit is implanted (the average household consumption is de112 Murcia, 4 liters per capita per day).
