Increases in water bill in sight?

water crisis, water arsenic, crumbling sewers. The real collapse in the management of integrated water system in the Province of Rome, the ACEA ATO 2 and respond by asking the mayors to increase the bill. No matter if you are on the threshold of the worst financial crisis since the war, no matter if public health is put at risk by contaminated water arsenic and other metals. At the private operator only affects sales, price and profits to be made to the budget. This is the result of the privatization of our water.
ACEA proposes an increase of 6.09% (4.59% increase over the 1, 5% to compensate for lost revenue decided by a ruling of the Constitutional Court, which ruled that not enough to pay for treatment if this is not supplied).
The documentation on the increase, was sent to the mayors a few days before the conference, making it impossible to discuss the City Councils decision to be taken.
Democracy Local Authorities, the power of our representatives shall be made subject to the power decision of the Corporation. Democracy has melted. We citizens have voted the city councilors and the Directors of ACEA, we want so that the city council to decide on rates of local public services.
The Constitutional Court recently decided that it was unlawful to ask a fee for service treatment if it is not served. It seems a rule of common sense, but the law Galli - who devised the current system of water management - provided that the cleaning service were to be paid anyway. Now facing a very important decision, which establishes a principle of justice, the technical secretariat operational ATO 2 proposes to offset the lack of gain of the private operator with a tariff increase. Not only that. Isoldi until now paid by the citizens for the purification of water was to be paid into a separate fund: ATO now the two are forced to admit that this fund was never established. What will happen when citizens call back the money for a service never provided? Because the fund was never established? The privately run
deprives the common water has never resulted in the improvement of water supplies. The problems we had before are still even now, with more than a tariff which you want to increase without any discussion in the councils, with the trade unions can only express an opinion.
We do not want to be funded speculation on water and public services.
We want to know how the mayor of San Cesareo intends to prevent another loss at the expense of citizens.
