For elected in the General Community Council
Urban Community Is All
Subject: Water management in the territory of agglomeration.
Dear
At the meeting of Community Board 16 February 2010, with all elected officials, you approved the interim management agreement with the drinking water SEDIF for a period of one year. You have, at the same time, accepted a technical and financial study be conducted to study the best method of management for water users in our territory.
You certainly know the criticisms made against the current management of SEDIF. Indeed, for several years now, its opaque management, its high tariffs, inadequate maintenance of the network are singled out. Particularly through organizations like the UFC Que Choisir, who in 2008 was estimated at 90 million euros per year (on a contract of 375 million euros) that called overcharging.
Another study, commissioned by SEDIF own view of the possible savings of 40 to 45 million euros per year!
The sliding scale that makes water less expensive for large consumers (businesses and communities, which enjoys full Neuilly-sur-Seine) is another aberration social and ecological. While the poorest, according to a survey of users of the Observatory of sanitation, water can see the load amount to 9% of their budget on the territory of SEDIF!
Under these conditions, you understand that we issue, at least, the largest reserves to continue the delegation of management of water distribution in SEDIF.
The study will be conducted must be an opportunity to review the terms of a management cheaper, more democratic, more concerned with environmental and social issues.
These are the reasons we hope that this study examines the feasibility of a public water management.
On this view, it is good to know that all experiences back from a delegation of public service of water management to public management have been directly the cost of water down.
A comprehensive study that would examine all aspects necessary for a complete analysis of the situation requires sufficient time to allow the firm to be authorized to that effect. Firm that we want, of course, independent of any private interest.
Therefore, we ask: What is
-examined and updated technical knowledge of water purification facilities and networks and distribution in the territory of the city. "What
be studied and updated the ownership of these facilities.
-What is considered the balance sheets records to establish the financial flows and volumes in the territory of the city.
In the studies on the future management mode, we hope that, as part of the study on public management, the firm works with "Eau de Paris" to appraise the conditions for a rapprochement.
Finally, management of water, like everything else public case being citizens, we hope that the results of the study are brought to the attention of citizens and discussed by them at public meetings in each cities involved and that each Councils debate and vote on this issue.
