Water and Electricity Bills



There has been some concern by several owners that the charge per unit for water on their latest bills has been doubled to 2.50 Euro. As I understand it,about two years ago Aguamed the water suppliers, increased their charge per unit to Mi Sol by 100 Percent. During this time no increase to owners was made and as a consequence the Community was subsidising all owners water charges.
At the AGM in September 2006 this was pointed out to all owners attending. It was proposed and accepted by a majority vote to adjust the charges for water and electricity to owners in line with what Mi Sol was actually being charged by Agumed and Ibedrola. Hence the large increase in water bills.

With regard to the electricity bills, I was under the impression that owners were being charged more per unit than Mi Sol was being charged by Ibedrola. I anticipated that whilst water charges were increased, charges for electricity would be reduced. The charges for electricity have not been reduced. I spoke to Melanie the assistant to the Aministrators about this, she claims that, after calculations were made, the cost per unit to Mi Sol was 19 centimos per unit and that owners were being charged 20 centimos per unit, and added that it was not worth all the extra work of changing everyones bill for 1 centimos per unit on this present set of bills.

I have attached copies of the electricity bill from Iberdrola dated 17th January 2007
When available I will post copies of the water bill from Aguamed. The current bill having been soaked by heavy rain is unusable.
