When will the 25 euros be awarded?On December 17, TCO reached a request from Saint-Leu drinking water users carried by the collective water.He had voted a global envelope of 191,575 euros for financial support of 7,663 subscribers.As a reminder, the latter had been deprived of drinking water for more than two months, from the end of September to early December, following contamination of the network by a bacteria of intestinal origin.Meanwhile, the subscription to Saur-Derichebourg Oi was still billed and families had to buy their drinking water bottles.Or a monthly invoice of around 60 euros for a family of 4 people.
Almost four months later, there is no trace of the discount on the invoices of the Saint-Leusiens."I called the TCO elected official, Gilles Hubert, who sent me back to the TCO water service. I was walked from service to service until I am told that noneInstructions have not been given. Since TCO has managed water in Saint-Leu, our town has gone to the background ", plague Karim Juhoor, the founder of the collective.
Yesterday morning, he brought together about fifteen citizens in front of the town hall of Saint-Leu.Objective: to challenge the municipal elected officials, some of whom also sit in TCO, to obtain responses from intercommunality."No elected official came to talk to us. However, they were there, looking at us behind the curtains of the town hall."Contacted, the TCO told us "to be awaiting the positioning of other communities to abound this reimbursement and make it effective."This should not much advance subscribers on the deadlines for implementing financial support.
Numerous family, precarious family?
The water problem in Saint-Leu is not new.The city was put in notice, as early as 2005, by ARS, to carry out the work necessary to ensure the good quality of the water.The potabilization plant will ultimately be functional ... in 2023.
The combat of the collective water goes further.It wishes a differentiated invoicing according to the districts where the quality of the water is potentially bad.He also demands a price suitable for large families.These pay, at a high price, their consumption because of the billing stages: the more a family is numerous, the more it consumes, the more it approaches the levels where the price of the M3 is very high."Suddenly, it is the large families who are the most precarious," said Claire, a resident who participated in the movement yesterday morning.
Many inhabitants of the town no longer consume tap water.This is the case of Dominique, a Piton resident, who watches, as a representative of parents of students, that all schools are provided in drinking water."The city had promised to equip the filter schools. This is still not the case."According to the municipality, a delay was actually taken following problems with providers.Schools should be equipped with filter in the coming weeks.If everything goes well.
