The Council has approved a motion asking the Junta de Andalucia to carry out works they announced would be carried out from proceeds of the water canon introduced under the 2010 Water Law. To date, the canon has raised €63 million, of which €400,000 has been contributed by nerjeños, yet not one single project has thus far been implemented.
Cost of water to go up on May 1st 2011
The cost of water in Andalucia will rise by €1.24 as from May 1st 2011 and is the result of the application of a canon in order to comply with a European Union directive to improve the water supply.
