On the agenda of the June 14 town hall meeting is a technical assistance agreement with the SAUR service provider. Mayor Florian Dumas recalled the discussion of January 24, 2023 (our edition of January 26, 2023): “In order to ensure the maintenance and renewal of the infrastructure, we have decided not to touch the subscription, to increase the consumption price by 0.15 euros and by 2.30 euros /m³ will be increased”. This municipality, which has 57 subscribers and an average annual consumption of 6800 cubic meters, had to earn 5994 euros in subscriptions without VAT and 15640 euros in consumption, i.e. 21634 euros. In order to secure these revenues, the subscribers had to be invoiced by SAUR. “We paid the cost of technical assistance from SAUR, but the expected return was not met.”
Despite numerous reminders to SAUR, the municipality had to close the 2023 budget as it is. “Only on May 16, SAUR explained to us that it did not accept our consultation dated January 24, 2023. Although the contract was signed, he did not apply the correct invoice.” Thus, in 2023 and the first half of 2024, SAUR paid subscribers a municipal share of 35 euros (instead of 105.16 euros) and 1 euro per cubic meter of consumption (instead of 2.30). Therefore, the subscribers did not fully pay the collective sewerage costs.
“We need to restore these revenues to balance our budget.” For the governed, elected officials agreed with SAUR to recover these revenues in four invoices. “The price of the subscription will remain at 105.16 euros per subscriber, excluding tax, and the price per cubic meter will be 105.16 euros.does July 2026 and will rise from €1 to €3.50does From July 2024 to December 31, 2025, from 1 to 3 eurosdoes January 2026 – June 30, 2026, 1 to 2.30 eurosdoes July 2026 i.e. January 2023 initial voting rate.
To remedy this loss, SAUR will not increase the cost of technical assistance until 2027, i.e. 19,283 euros, with no calculation costs until 2027. an increase in the subscription fee and/or per cubic meter.” A joint “municipality/SAUR” letter will be sent to each subscriber to explain the situation.
