Information from the board about the the problems with the sewage that runs through Monte Vinas.
Victor has together with some representatives from the board had meetings with the municipality. Here are his reports from those meetings
MEETING WITH THE CITY COUNCIL ON FRIDAY, JUNE 13:
- Background: We had a meeting the previous week in MV with the person in charge of the water company (Hidralia) regarding the breaks in the sewage tubes that connect to the village and cross the community. He rejected responsibility for the water company. He explained that the City Council is responsible for these tubes. He explained that it is necessary to reroute a new line around MV, and this new line has to be built by the TownHall. This request was made to the City Council in 2017.
- We had a meeting at City Hall with the Councilor for Public Works and Communities, Marcos Ruiz, and one municipal architect. The community was represented by Jan Berset, Rob Potter, and the administrator, Victor Lopez.
- The community explained the problem with the sewage tube that crosses the residential area, which has several breaks, allowing sewage to leak onto the residential area’s land, causing damage to the sanitary conditions and foundations of the homes. We have confirmed the city council’s responsibility for this pipeline. We also provided the report from our architect Rocio Sanchez and the camera recordings of the tubes.
- The city council agreed that the sewage tubes had to be rerouted outside the community, but they did not agree to assume responsibility for repairing the existing tubes. They claim it is a legal issue; once the exterior pipeline is in operation, the interior pipeline becomes private property, so they cannot spend public money on repairing it. Jan said that this was very unfair to MV since the town’s wastewater had also contributed to the collapse of the sewer system, so the town-hall had to contribute to its reparation.
- Given the difference of opinions, both parties agreed that the city council would study the cost of rerouting the sewage line outside the community, as well as the cost of repairing the interior sewage tubes, and that we would hold a meeting in September to discuss those costs and who would be responsible for payment.

Hi all, I have negotiated an increase of the treatments with the pest control company. They will do monthly treatments against cockroaches -instead of quaterly that they are doing now- plus smoke bombs every 6 months (2 per year). Also they will do rat & mouse treatments. They will send me monthly reports with pictures to follow the efectivity of the treatments. The price will increase from 726€ to 1110€ per year. In september we will evaluate the service for future actions. Please pass this information to the owners. Regards, Victor
