translated from Spanish: “Japasa doesn’t achieve healthy finances”: Carlo Mario Ortiz

Guamúchil, Sinaloa.- The Drinking Water and Sewerage Board of Salvador Alvarado (Japasa) may have some difficulties regarding the expenses that are made and the money that comes in to solve them. Carlo Mario Ortiz Sánchez, municipal president of Salvador Alvarado, noted that there are problems because energy increases have increased by about 50 percent of 2017 to date and the cost of water per cubic meter has not increased to date.

“There was only one update that has to do with inflation, but we have a lag, because 2016 was made the last adjustment to water, where the study went to 70 percent lag,” the mayor said. He said that there has been a deficit in what is charged with what water costs.
He noted that year-over-year the supplies are coming up, but despite this the Board has been efficient and the delinquency has been reduced from 30 to 10 percent, but stressed that it has not reached the equilibrium point of achieving healthy finances.Reported that the cost of the cubic meter of water is less than 5 pesos and costs 7 pesos to produce water. “But we will pay the aguinaldos, we have been doing it and we know that this year we will also pay on time,” he said. The municipal council noted that the necessary savings are being made so that the issue of aguinaldos is not complicated; said it seeks to comply in a timely manner. He added that the municipality has been very responsible for financial matters.” I don’t like to talk about what we do, but said by the Ministry of Finance, it’s the most financially sorted municipality in the entire state,” said Carlo Mario Ortiz Sánchez.  The municipal president mentioned that this is because the administration has been concerned with being responsible for what the Financial Discipline Act marks.
