All persons by virtue of being, must have a "vital minimum" of water, enough to meet their basic needs and to live a decent life and regardless of their economic capacity amount.
This requirement, which should be the general rule to be followed by public managers in this proposed new regulation UPYD PP And the opposite is true.
These regulations are not born with the need to adapt to local regulations to the current situation, but to cover public complaints that have occurred since August by water cuts to families in need and does not guarantee in any way that will not cut the supply to people in social exclusion.
While extending the cutting time and can make claims, it does not guarantee that the cut and which may go to social services to get help not explicitly contemplates the regulation occurs.

These are the proposals that this Councillor has proposed:
-Recognition of the human right to water: this means that it is forbidden to cut the drinking water, and a minimum living per person per day by reference to the volume referred to by the UN and / or WHO, as well as the regulation of states necessary social and economic measures aimed at people with little economic capacity.
-Consideration Water as a common good and not as a commodity.
- Prohibit the privatization of the management of water and sanitation services.
- When you finish the contract with Acualia (Two years) Redistricting service.
- That all executions water cuts are stopped in the town of San Pedro del Pinatar, whereas they are not measured by the Social Services.
Which the service who is deprived of it is restored immediately.
Claim therefore a model of public water management, nonprofit that from a socio-ecological perspective respects the rights of citizens as a service of general interest with the utmost respect for human rights.
In response, the PP government team, justify the cuts for two reasons: first there are people who do not pay because they simply do not want, and the second by the need to maintain service.
