Water bills reduced in San Javier to compensate drinking water cuts in October
The reductions will be reflected in the next water bills received by residents of San Javier
Following the lead set by Los Alcázares earlier in the week, the Town Hall of San Javier and the local water supply company (Hidrogea) will be reducing their bills for the month of October to reflect the 10 days or so during which tap water was not drinkable following the flooding caused by Storm Alice.
Both the Town Hall and Hidrogea will be seeking help in financing this move from the Mancomunidad de Canales del Taibilla, which is responsible for the water supply infrastructures that let the coast of the Mar Menor down following the heavy rain.
The discounts will be reflected automatically in the next water bills issued, with a reduction in the rates for water supply and sewage. However, the rate for water treatment (“depuración de aguas”) may still appear as it is managed by ESAMUR, an agency of the regional government and therefore out of the jurisdiction of the Town Hall.
In the meantime, a reminder that for the last few weeks there has been an information service for those who were affected by the disruption in operation, enabling residents and businesses to present documentation claiming compensation for the costs and damage they suffered due to the water cuts.
All information gathered will be delivered directly to the Mancomunidad de Canales del Taibilla in order for compensation claims to be processed, and no deadline for taking advantage of this facility has yet been set.

The municipality of San Javier has three main offices giving tourist information to visitors, as well as two information points.

There is also a summer tourist information point located on the seafront in Santiago de la Ribera as well as one at kilometre 12-13 of La Manga del Mar Menor next to Playa Mistral.
