Water resources, an essential element

There was talk of discussing budget projections at last week’s community council at the Paulhan village hall. The community has accumulated more than € 16 million in debt, with a recorded decrease of 6.29%. The payroll should exceed € 9 million, especially with aging. And the recruitments necessary for the creation of a rural police force, the reinforcement of the youth service and the personnel of garbage collection. The community employs 236 permanent staff and 29 under contract.

“We put the spirits, as you say”

The preservation of water resources will open the debates. “On the catchments, not a word on the regularization of the drilling of Clermont. This subject is very important, it has already been mentioned when it was necessary to authorize Lacoste to connect to the drilling which is normally not regular. seems to me that it is essential to open up about it. We should perhaps put a little spirit into it, that would suit us well “, questions community councilor Jean-Marie Sabatier, first deputy mayor of Clermont, in the latter’s absence. “At the next council meeting, you will be asked to vote on the admissibility of the files initiated on the Mas de Mare and the Aveyro. Procedures that have been around for a decade and that we have managed to finalize between 2018 and today. hui. So, we put the spirit as you say “, specifies Julien Golembiewski, director of Interc’eau. Before Claude Revel underlines: “Hence the importance of intercommunality, the Clermont boreholes are in Ceyras and Brignac.”

The dispute over the Mas de Mare

For years, a dispute has opposed the owner of the drilling site of the Mas de Mare and the Sepac

. Devastating floods on the Lergue had damaged the equipment. The uncertainty over the 2,000 m3 / day of drinking water available had forced the regional health agency to suspend building permits in 2016 with the obligation to find another less vulnerable point. Elected officials voted unanimously to purchase land for new drilling, in safety and at Mas de Mare. “But not a word on the theater”, asks Jean-Marie Sabatier. “We were committed to launching the work if we reached 80% funding and, today, the 20% that the State had to commit to its recovery plan is missing. If we do not have them, it will be complicated”,

confirms the session chairman.

-Sepac: former drinking water and collective sanitation union for the municipalities of Clermont-l’Hérault, Nébian and Villeneuvette.
