Faced with this situation, the Municipal Council of the commune of Subbetic has decided to increase the amount of the quarterly invoice per customer by thirty euros.

Navas defends that, “despite the increase, in Priego we will continue to enjoy one of the lowest water bills in the province of Córdoba. Well below the neighboring towns. Something that is typical of our wealth and that, if public management continues on the path of improving the service, we will soon be able to make it even lower.
