On December 31, 2012 it was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante modification of these and other ordinances, so that entered into force in 2013.
Now, the council has sent a certified letter to the dianenses homes to develop a standard in all homes and premises that receive this service appear, the only required to pay this fee.

That is why it was decided to establish this new rate, so that finance maintenance service recipients.

I'm reading my Aqualia receipt to try to calculate
How much will this bill raise me? Can you help me? 1m3. = 0.43 E.
…. Now = 0,12 E. (Has the price dropped? ¿¿?????) If 10 m3.
cost 4,3 E. Now it will cost 1,2 + 3,5 fixed rate = 4,7 E.
Other fees, fees and fees, I guess they do not vary. Then no
it has gone up so much… where is the catch?
The city of Denia is oversized and we have to pay for it.
As an example:
Budget Denia 2013: 47.200.000 with 44.500 inhabitants
It costs € 1.060 per "docked" citizen.
Budget Catarroja 2013: 16.000.000 with 28.000 inhabitants
Sale to 570 € per citizen.
The truth, I agree to pay as long as you enjoy the sewer system.
What I do not get to understand is: If money is needed for sewer maintenance and now we have to pay 3,50 more. Do you mean that with what was paid so far, did not include the maintenance thereof?
Or esque with so many people in the Very Illustrious Ajuntament did not occur to anyone that this entails a maintenance?
What was the money in the sewerage used to invest now?
Yet another invention, they no longer know what to do to pay the expenses of their mismanagement, the deficit and obsolete ones, and from the time of the dinosaurs there are many of those who are "LET THEM JUVILEN ALREADY"
17.500 houses without sewers have been paying a sewage fee since 1993. Spain is different…
