According Tornel, Regulation lacks a clear definition to address situations of default by financial inability and only refers to the case of termination of service, ie, when consumption ceases permanently and are not effective billings two bimonthly.
The mayor defended the water, as reflected in the Social Pact Initiative for Public Water, emerged within social movements, environmentalists, scientists and citizens, "is an essential universal human right that must be regulated with criteria of efficiency and solidarity, based on the principles of equality, equity and non-discrimination. "
He also explained that the commitment not to terminate water service to families who can not afford the payments belong to the public part of the company as a guarantor of the fundamental rights of citizens.
In this regard, he opined that it is a commitment "that must be present in the regulation governing a universal right enshrined by the UN, backed by the European Union (EU) and reclaimed every day for the citizens."
