The obstacles to arriving at the end of the month: the receipts of water, garbage, light and gas shoot up almost 50%
- Very good.
- July 30th, 2017
Getting to the end of the month costs more than before the crisis.
And the policies of prices of basic supplies that the companies of the energy sector and of the city councils, to which the Government of Aragon is uniting with initiatives like the contested Water Quality Tax (ICA) , do not exactly help the families To stretch salaries:
Average receipts of water, garbage, light and gas have risen 47% in the last eight years, a period in which household income fell by 16%, according to surveys of Living Conditions and Family Budgets of INE (Statistics National Institute).
Between 2007 and 2015, the average income of Aragonese householdsfell by almost one-sixth, from 33,237 to 28,019 euros, a decrease that exceeds 20% if reference is made to 2008, an exercise in which the community beat Its record of wealth creation before falling into the crisis.
In parallel, and according to the Family Budget Survey, in this case with data from 2008 to 2016 , the average expenditure of the Aragonese families in these basic supplies went from 946.81 euros to 1,398.18. They increased by 47.67%, from less than 3% of household income (2.84%) to almost 5% (4.99%).
Light rises 46% and gas 57%
The bulk of this increase goes to the income accounts of companies in the energy sector; Especially those of the electric, who have seen their domestic income continue to grow irrespective of whether the consumption of that energy in Spain fell by a third, from 3,953 to 2,641 kilowatts per family per year between 2010 and 2015, as a result of the savings Of families and the implementation of efficiency measures.
In the case of Aragon, the reduction of consumption was paralleled by a 46.35% increase in the invoice: the 223.88 euros that separate the 504.50 in 2007 from the 728.38 in 2015.
The rise in gas, whose consumption was partly boosted by the use of households as a heating alternative to electricity, resulted in a higher percentage: 57.25%, from 214.07 to 336.63 euros in eight years.
In that evolution had a key influence the policies of maximum prices applied by the current central Government, which led to the butane cylinder of 12.5 kilos at a record price of 17.5 euros in March 2015.
Trash and water go up
The municipalities also continued to increase their basic service receipts in the years of the crisis, the vast majority of which were exacerbated by privatizations that burden contractors with the industrial profit of the successful bidder and a VAT of 21% taxing them as if they were not First need.
The garbage shot up 35% from an average of 77.60 euros per family per year to another of 105.37 in the community. That increase, to be remarkable, is far from the one that experienced the receipt of water, which more than doubled: from 150.64 euros per year to 217.80 euros.
The two components of the water bill had very different behaviors.
The supply of the mouth became cheaper from an average of 110.40 euros to another of 99.86, which is the lowest in the series after having reached 122 in 2011 and 2014. However, the cost for Households of wastewater treatment was close to tripling: from 40.24 to 117.94 euros.
Aragonese families have been sustaining a sustained increase in this public service since 2007, when the disproportionate depuration plan that triggered prices began to unfold and included such surprising initiatives as projecting wastewater treatment plants in uninhabited areas .
The unfeasibility of the plan, which is being corrected by the current autonomic executive, led the community to launch the ICA, with which it expects to collect only 28.85 million euros in Zaragoza in 2045.

The Terrible Example of Venezuela
Did you know that in Venezuela nobody pays rent because everyone has the right to housing?
What does anyone pay for electricity, water or gas because it is a public right that everyone has?
Did you know that those long queues that TV shows are only in supermarkets with state-subsidized foods that are purchased for a symbolic price and do not exist in other supermarkets?
Did you know that with 4 dollars the fuel tank of the car is filled?
I did not know, I did not know it? Strange, is not it?
Why is it that the media do not inform us about this ... Can not think?
