Councillor for Environment, María José García Parra, said, "is a joke that the confederation wants to destroy our natural and social heritage for the mineral water from the tap out."
Sources of municipal government team have called "real joke" the meeting held this week with the president of the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura (CHS), Charo Quesada, in which its leaders reported the intention to proceed with the project of tubing from the flow of the Segura.
As they explain, was a tense meeting, chaired by the intolerance of the agency responsible for the basin, "which is not at all interested in hearing the arguments of the platform, but load of reasons to justify all costs of the piping work crazy" .
They also believe that the arguments of the confederation, which refer to the need to intubate the flows to improve the quality of drinking water are "absolute manipulation, since the current levels of trihalomethanes which are recorded in Segura are controlled and pose no risk to health of people, because if so, should have intervened much earlier to protect citizens, and it is known so far, no one has recognized the health problems caused by drinking tap water. "
In the same vein, the mayor noted that, "precisely the Segura water quality is the best in Spain thanks to investments in purification has been made in the last years."
E indicates that "in any case, there are other ways to treat water and ensure absolute quality."
For his part, Councillor for the Environment and Agriculture, María José García, has said it is an "authentic challenge the socialist federation and the ministry intended to destroy our natural heritage and damage the agrarian structure of Cieza, saying that with this play mineral water is going to tap, as are values quite lopsided and I doubt that any city prefer to stay without the environment safe for tap water taste better. "
Also, remember that the environmental damage caused by the project are recognized by the Ministry of Environment in their reports, "so that the confederation not telling the truth when it seeks to minimize public opinion."
On actions to be taken in the coming days, the mayor announced that the Platform in Defence of the River is expecting to present their arguments in the Government Office and the Regional Assembly and will seek the support of all citizens to avoid Let the project.
