Opinion José Chulvi: «water shortage»

21 July 2015 - 18: 30

15 years ago, Javea Town Hall It took a brave decision: to build a desalination plant seawater. It was a bold bet that creating such an innovative and ambitious initiative to purely local public funding, without the help of other administrations and committing an investment of no less than 24 million euros.

In those testing times, which taps single out salt water and large tanks with drinking water were part of the furniture every summer, Xàbia chance and, although not the most easy or popular, chose a solution long term.

It's been years since we turned this water plant. Some of them have had such heavy rains that the desalination plant could even be unplugged. But all this time, residents of Xàbia not have stopped paying via rate the price of having this industry, a promise of peace and ensuring a supply of quality and safe in times of scarcity.

I do not think anyone should be surprised now if you have to choose between cutting the sale of water to neighboring villages or leave without the xabieros own decision, though painful, is more than clear.

We are the first to understand that when a people lacking drinking water nerves are raw skin. However, we can not allow ourselves to be unsympathetic to justify tache not have reacted in time. Especially when in recent years from Xàbia, despite being better prepared to face a drought situation, we have provided our plant as the basis on which to build a structural solution to a problem, we warned, we would affect all .

We have convened meetings and technical seminars to those responsible for neighboring municipalities and we have proposed serious agreements (for example, a commitment to purchase a minimum five years), as collateral to give us enough confidence to ask to expand the plant and its production capacity, which is as logical means greater investment and maintenance costs.

What we have found during this time is a bargaining cents, letting the months and emplazándonos meetings which we did not get greater commitment than comfortable "and I'll buy if I need and make me good price".

We are a united people and believes in the union of the region. But they can not claim that, without being able to commit to serious agreements in Xàbia us to consider more investments from our pocket for the desalination plant produces a surplus if punctually need.

However, we put ourselves in the skin of those who today suffer restrictions, and we are working to reduce the consumption of our subscribers and as soon we are in a position to do so, if they want to return to supply them.

It is easy to blame but useful solutions.

José F. Chulvi.

Mayor of Xàbia

  2. Teresa says:

    Totally agree with the option proposed by the Mayor of Xabia. Planning and forecasting is the best solution to any situation. Do not wait until the problem gets

  3. Isabel Bilbao says:

    I would like to know the measures that are going to be taken to "reduce the consumption of our subscribers" and if they go through raising the price of water more or preventing us from watering (or rather teaching him water, which is what we actually do) to our dying courtyards and gardens, since it is already impossible to pay the water for the amount of irrigation it would touch ..

    The only thing missing was that by paying for the water in Javea at the price of Cava and with the price that the famous contracts with AMJASA have (to reimburse the desalination plant ……) we didn't have any water on top!

  5. EDUARDO BRIONES says:

    Finding solutions to the problem of schedule public transport, it would be fantastic, or find solutions such as XABIA BICI to mitigate the problem of our peculiar and unprecedented Prolema schedule of public transport, which stops lunchtime when people go and returns to work, and begins after starting institutes, certainly not used to go to school.

    That seek solutions to the problems of XABIA. we are positive that this term solutions to the problems of XABIA be found, to name one of topical, the invasion of jellyfish on the beach deteriorates charm swim in the Mediterranean Sea, main tourist wealth. Let us look for solutions or we copy the solutions already found in other places with similar problems.

  6. EDUARDO BRIONES says:

    Search for solutions, you must find and find solutions and then execute them.

    In line with this I wondered if in the last legislature and in the present, someone XABIA (with name, would be much better) is looking for a solution to the historical lack of sports infrastructure and solution to the problem of the municipal swimming pool in XABIA ,.

    What a paradox, people with pools without water and without water Xabia pool. Weird things happen in the region.

    6 hopefully in the remaining months of the year someone finds a solution to the problem of municipal XABIA pool.
