WWF Abruzzo Social Forum and spoke to the press three key documents for an understanding of the outrageous Integrated Water Service in the region. The first is the Report of the Supervisory Commission on Integrated Water Service presented to all regional directors in October 2007.
The committee, comprising members of civil society and the appointing council, he drew an extremely serious, with particular reference to expectations, transparency and implementation of area plans. The conclusions may be read "We say clearly that the ATO Abruzzo have proved itself; that the management of integrated water services to them since 1999 suffers many delays, which in most cases there are situations of severe mismatch between expected and achieved, in terms of management transparent, efficient, effective and economical has done too little " . The report contains numerous insights and practical proposals for improving the system, especially starting from the low participation of citizens in the management of this precious commodity. With this background in the following month, November 30, 2007, the Commissioner of six ATO comes from the Abruzzo region. Later, in the deliberations of the Regional Council n.594 1 July 2008, the region, with data collected by the commissioners, a trace framework that takes your breath about the state of investment in ATO 6. At € 322 million investment planned by the Area Plan 2002-2006, there were only 102 actually committed. In reality the situation was even worse because, as you can read in the same decision "Given that according to data above represented than expected Plans Setting Bodies of regional managers and actors appear to have invested about a third of what planned and spent less than a third of that commitment. " So the sums were allocated on paper but, in large part, not actual costs. This is despite the same period, the State and the Region have committed Framework Program Agreement with the APQ important amounts for investments for which the ATO should provide for the financing only. In fact about 61 million € co-financing should ensure that the ATO to 31/12/2007 it had actually been spent on 18! Apart from these co-financing, however, as we have seen, even for the full amount actually spent some ATO were not having invested more than anything all'APQ over the period 2002-2006 (€ 0 for the ATO "Chietino" and "Peligno" ).
Recently (February 2010) was intended to entrust the region further and more thorough auditing of ATO and management company through a so-called "Due Diligence". As of today do not know the outcome of the initiative. Meanwhile, the Commissioner Caputi has proposed a substantial increase in price in the car of Pescara. However, the report submitted by the Commissioner on the status of this ATO contains data that all users have the right to know in detail, as good citizens having paid the bill for years. The most striking example is the on-investment over the period 2003-2008: € 53 million expenditure is not made in water treatment plants, pipelines, sewers, etc., with a -67% compared to the provisions of the Area Plan. It 'obvious that there should not be surprised of the enormous losses of water from the mains and treatment plants that do not work! The Commissioner, among the causes of mancati investimenti, inserisce testualmente “Costi operativi superiori a quelli previsti”. Più avanti precisa che “Nonostante il consolidamento di minori fatturati il trend di crescita dei costi operativi e del personale non si è fermato”. Dichiara Augusto De Sanctis, referente acque del WWF Abruzzo “Questi
documenti fanno emergere una situazione al limite dell'incredibile in tutta la regione e rimaniamo estereffatti quando si parla di aumento di tariffe che dovrebbe essere approvato proprio da chi, i sindaci, avrebbero dovuto esercitare a nome degli utenti un ferreo controllo in qualità di soci dell'ATO. La tariffa pagata dai cittadini viene calcolata inserendo il dato sugli investimenti previsti secondo il cosiddetto resulting from a standardized method CIPE. Therefore, the service provider is obliged to set aside a portion of the proceeds to provide investment on water supply, sewage, drainage, quality of service. To start from the ATO of Pescara an element of certainty: there were more than € 50 million in less than investment. It 'true that in the progression rates - increases in tariffs, to be clear - was not that provided by the Area Plan, but before any increase, it is necessary to clarify what the city has actually paid and what had in return. Still missing - or has not been released - a fundamental fact: how much is the amount actually received ICA had to go through the investment rate compared to what was actually spent for these projects? There are three possibilities. If the ACA has spent more than it has received investment from the price for this item a citizen in this case would have achieved more than he deserved. If the sums do not correspond then the city had originally expected by the Area Plan in investment, but at least you is not seen as increasing the rate provided for the Plan. In this case there would be no one lost an economic point of view, even if the environment has suffered because he was not complied with the Area Plan. However, if you spent less on investment of the amount paid the citizen then the auditors are required to recover this amount from those who would have had to set aside or, paradoxically, to decrease the tariff to prevent the city suffer the insult of having paid for something that has not had and that he deserved. If the mayors will be voting increases without clarifying these points to give them a "sieve of Gold" as a symbol of
water management is totally unacceptable. We fully expect them to do their duty by reporting everything that is emerging in the ordinary judges and accounting to see if there are any situations of illegality and maladministration to be sanctioned. In any case we will do it as soon as we have all the data.
The strict liability can not only be used against citizens who have to pay the bills. " Angela declares Giovannantonio Abruzzo Social Forum "For years we fight with specific operational proposals for a public management different from what we have in Abruzzo. We asked to make open to the public about major assemblies of 'ATO and to participate, without voting rights but with the right to free speech and everything, three representatives of environmental groups, consumer unions and boards of directors so that there is constant monitoring by the citizens saw that the mayors do not seem able to play fully. The Area Plan, most programming tool, should be discussed citizens before its approval. The Commissioner is taking steps to reformulate all the plans, but it is not possible for this to happen without ensuring broad participation of citizens. "
