In Lanmérin, the water bill raises eyebrows and is not passed on to residents connected to the sewer system. Gilbert Moreau and Jean-Paul Rivoallan are at the origin of a petition which has garnered strong support: 128 signatures out of the 140 homes connected to collective sanitation.
“Could we be the cash cows of the city? », Ask the two protagonists, noting the new pricing. “In Lanmérin, we are the champions in all categories and by far the most expensive for sanitation subscriptions,” note retirees who have studied the pricing of other municipalities. “We notice that in the municipalities in the background (Rospez, Coatréven, Quemperven, Trézény, Langoat…), we are skimming! And the municipalities ahead, Trégastel, Perros-Guirec, Kerbors, all that pays off! In Perros-Guirec, the fleet is not expensive per m3 and they are at €119 excluding tax, where we are at €216 excluding tax. But the one who wins the prize is Lézardrieux who pays €39 for his sanitation subscription. And on the meter subscription, in Perros-Guirec or Trégastel, they are at €0.30 or €0.40 per m3 when we are at €1.95 and €2.10. The differential is amazing all the same! »
When we went door to door to explain our approach, we met people who ended up admitting their distress and their difficulties. They pay attention to everything and without drinking a single drop of water are already suffocated.
“We want to return to the private sector”
Jean-Paul Rivollan and Gilbert Moreau wonder: “How can towns like Trégastel and Perros-Guirec which go through the private sector have cheaper prices than us who are in the public sector? In this case, we too want to return to the private sector! When we went door to door to explain our approach, we met people who ended up admitting their distress and their difficulties. They pay attention to everything and without drinking a single drop of water are already suffocated. That Lannion-Trégor Community cannot see this, it saddens us,” conclude the petitioners.
The mayor for rapid standardization of prices
Contacted, the mayor of Lanmérin, Jean-François Saliou, followed by a majority of his council, confirmed having signed the petition. He hopes that the initial commitment of Lannion-Trégor Community to standardize water prices across the entire territory will be effective as quickly as possible.
