| The PP requires the mayor of the Socialists to explain what has happened, and to order the stoppage and subsequent cancellation of the collection procedure | The water joint venture did not collect meter reading during confinement, causing actual consumption to accumulate now, and receipts to be significantly more expensiveGiven the important social alarm that has lived in the municipality since yesterday afternoon due to the skyrocketing amount of water bills that people from Lorca are receiving, the spokesman for the Popular Party in the town hall, Fulgencio Gil, has demanded the cancellation of all receipts issued by the city council and the stoppage of collection procedures, taking into account the unfair amounts that are intended to be collected.Fulgencio Gil has explained that, due to the situation experienced during the period of confinement forced by the coronavirus pandemic, the company did not perform the actual meter readings, and applied a billing estimating the consumption of each user in 2019.

Obviously, the confinement It has caused consumption to be higher now, but instead of distributing that consumption among the different billing months, they have accumulated the extra expense in just one of the receipts.

This causes the amount to be significantly higher, since the price per liter consumed depends on total consumption and is paid in blocks.

In this way, families that used to pay within the cheapest blocks have to pay unfairly within the higher blocks.The PP spokesman from Lorca has claimed that, as an improvement to the correction factor that we propose, we consider that there is also the possibility that now that Mr.

Mateos has recognized that the city council has more money than ever, and that the company that manages water accumulates Considerable benefits, it would be the right time to help the people of Lorca, drawing a receipt with what the Lorcans paid last year.Particularly unfair is the treatment that the current local government is having in this regard with merchants, hoteliers and freelancers, who were offered "alms" that they themselves described as "humiliating", and now they find that the alleged deductions on the receipt of the water they included, they applied it with the cheap amount, but now they are forced to pay for the most expensive water.

In this way, they continue to crush the most vulnerable economic and labor sectors in the face of the socioeconomic and labor crisis that we are facing due to the coronavirus.The people of Lorca, obviously, do not understand why the mayor of the PSOE, instead of offering an explanation of what is happening with these very shot, remains silent, to what they demand a solution.
