A unanimous agreement to municipalize the water supply service
At the ordinary municipal meeting held on April 3 in Sant Hilari Sacalm, an important decision was taken for the municipality. With the unanimous approval of the members of the City Council, the municipalization procedure for the water supply service has begun and a comprehensive management service for the water cycle is being established. This decision aims to guarantee investments to improve the wells and build a large reservoir of three million liters (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
Participation of different actors in the process
To ensure that the municipalization process is legally viable and economically sustainable, a commission has been created with the participation of the three political groups of the City Council: the Independent Party of the Guilleries, Esquerra Republicana de Sant Hilari and Junts per Sant hilarious In addition, different experts have been added to offer advice (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
Mixed management with municipal control
In the coming months, the management model of the water supply service will be defined. The City Council’s objective is for it to be a joint venture, where the City Council has a majority stake of 51%. In addition, at the end of the concession, it is expected that the water supply network will be public and municipal. This will allow you to have total control of the integral water cycle, from supply to purification.
An important step for the municipality
The municipalization of the water supply service is an important step for Sant Hilari Sacalm. Until now, the service was in private hands, but with this agreement, the City Council ensures municipal ownership of the service. This decision will improve management and guarantee a quality service for citizens.
