The Municipal Group Socialist councilor, Antonio Navarro welcomed the approval of the construction of the pipeline that will transport water from the desalination Eagles, from Cerro Colorao to Lorca fields, as have called on numerous occasions since the PSOE.
However, they regret that again public money managers are more aware of the holder and the picture and cut the ribbon that true service to be given a millionaire as this investment.
Navarro said that for these works, newly adopted, are really helpful, they must be provided with a buffer rafts six specifically with three points lift along the route of the pipeline.
Elements that the Government of Mariano Rajoy, through the Ministry of Agriculture, nor contemplated.
The socialist mayor explained that the role of these "regulatory rafts" is, on the one hand, storing the desalinated water desalination plant that will produce to regulate their consumption according to the needs of farmers.
On the other hand, provide enough pressure irrigation facilities, and supply water to 24,000 hectares of irrigated land in the Community of Irrigators.
"Without the construction of these rafts, there will be farmers consolidated irrigation, which will pass the pipe through his farm, and not be watered with that water, lack of pressure, so we want are more facts and less talk" reiterates Antonio Navarro, referring to the promises of the Minister as yet there is not one cent planned to install these necessary rafts.
The PSOE put at around 70% of the consolidated irrigation, ie, owners of 7,700 hectares, who see it as a huge investment of 20 million euros, will transport the water they need for their farms for failing to use them.
From the Socialist Party, from a logical and coherent perspective, we understand that if now has a starting 20 million for the pipeline, the section that corresponds, as far as the money arrives operation, but giving the stretch that perform such "regulatory rafts".
Otherwise, some works will be conducted at a cost of 20 million euros, to leave no service to over 7,700 hectares of irrigated land.
Therefore, since the Socialists are calling for the Mayor to take action on the matter, and do not allow this project to be carried out as designed, but conducted in a reasonable manner considering the essential building those " regulatory rafts ".
