Veolia has suspended the planned July 1 water cut-off at the Villas Caravaning campsite in Cartagena following mediation by the city council. An agreement was reached to install individual meters on the plots and develop a repayment plan for the accumulated debt. The goal is to separate each user's consumption and prevent a repeat of the situation where non-payment of the communal bill threatens the water supply of all residents.
Earlier reports indicated the community's debt to Veolia ranges from €700,000 to €732,166.40, with only €16,846 in the account and outstanding owner contributions reaching €582,324. The Socialist Party (PSOE) had called on Mayor Noelia Arroyo to apply the Social Water Fund. The city council described the situation as exceptional due to the number of people affected and the health risks of a prolonged cut-off.
