Plogui, nevi o faci sol, el subministrament de l’aigua que consumeixen m\u00e9s del 80% dels catalans segueix en mans d’empreses totalment o parcialment privades. Malgrat els esfor\u00e7os per recuperar la gesti\u00f3 p\u00fablica d’aquest servei, les multinacionals del sector es resisteixen a perdre un negoci milionari.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A trav\u00e9s de l’empresa p\u00fablica ONAIGUA, <\/span>el consell comarcal d’Osona va assumir l’abril de l’any passat la gesti\u00f3 del subministrament d’aigua en aquesta comarca<\/b>, pel que dona servei a 11.400 punts de consum i arriba a m\u00e9s de 25.000 habitants. Es va convertir en el primer consell comarcal a prendre una mesura d’aquest calat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Podr\u00edem dir que es tracta d’una anomalia del mercat, ja que <\/span>el subministrament de l’aigua a Catalunya est\u00e0 majorit\u00e0riament en mans privades<\/b>. Un redu\u00eft nombre d’empreses privades administren i es lucren d’aquest b\u00e9 preuat al nostre pa\u00eds gr\u00e0cies a concessions moltes vegades q\u00fcestionades. I aix\u00f2 que en el m\u00f3n la gesti\u00f3 p\u00fablica assorteix al 90% de la poblaci\u00f3 i Nacions Unides reconeix l’aigua com un dret hum\u00e0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Segons les dades de la <\/span>plataforma<\/span><\/a> Aigua \u00e9s vida, <\/span>m\u00e9s del 80% dels catalans obtenen l’aigua a trav\u00e9s d’un servei totalment o parcialment privatitzat<\/b>, mentre que el que el servei p\u00fablic no arriba ni al 20% de la poblaci\u00f3. Aquest desequilibri s’explica pel domini del model privat en els municipis amb un major volum de poblaci\u00f3, que s\u00f3n els m\u00e9s rendibles.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pressi\u00f3 per a municipalitzar un servei b\u00e0sic<\/b><\/h3>\n

Davant aquesta realitat, existeix una <\/span>creixent pressi\u00f3 per recuperar la gesti\u00f3 p\u00fablica d’aquest servei<\/b>. L’Associaci\u00f3 de Municipis i Entitats per l’Aigua P\u00fablica (AMAP) ja compta amb 68 membres i representa al 47% de la poblaci\u00f3 de Catalunya. Recentment, publicava un <\/span>informe<\/span><\/a> amb propostes de reformes legislatives per canviar aquesta situaci\u00f3.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sis municipis, l’Associaci\u00f3 de micropobles de Catalunya i una nova empresa p\u00fablica es van sumar a aquesta entitat l\u2019any 2022. Dels nous municipis, nom\u00e9s <\/span>Mieres<\/span><\/a> (la Garrotxa), Collbat\u00f3 (Baix Llobregat) i <\/span>Torroella de Montgr\u00ed<\/span><\/a> (Baix Empord\u00e0) gestionen directament l’aigua. Castell\u00f3 d’Emp\u00faries est\u00e0 en proc\u00e9s de municipalitzar el servei, mentre que Manlleu i <\/span>Sitges<\/span><\/a> encara estan lligades a concessions per m\u00e9s d’una d\u00e8cada amb Sorea i Agbar. Quant a l’Associaci\u00f3 de micropobles de Catalunya, cal tenir en compte que <\/span>el 70% dels municipis de menys de mil habitants, que s\u00f3n els menys rendibles, ja gestionen directament el subministrament d’aigua<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gaireb\u00e9 un monopoli<\/b><\/h3>\n

Tot i que les empreses privades que gestionen l’aigua a Catalunya es presenten amb diferents noms segons el municipi, la majoria pertanyen al <\/span>grup Agbar<\/b>, que est\u00e0 valorat en uns 3.000 milions d’euros.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aquest grup controla totalment l’empresa Sorea i posseeix gaireb\u00e9 el 80% de la Companyia d’Aig\u00fces de Sabadell (CASSA), el 68% d’Aig\u00fces de Rigat (Igualada) i el 49% de l’Empresa Municipal Aig\u00fces de Tarragona (Ematsa). A m\u00e9s, t\u00e9 al voltant del 35% de Mina P\u00fablica de Terrassa i el 31% de Girona SA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Els seus beneficis no sols provenen de la venda d’aigua<\/b>, que l’any passat pretenia encarir un 7,4% a Barcelona. Tamb\u00e9 de la subcontractaci\u00f3 de serveis a les seves filials. Aix\u00f2 permet que a la Ciutat Comtal, per exemple, el cost dels comptadors d’aigua per a l’usuari final acabi m\u00e9s que triplicant el cost original. Aix\u00f2 suposa uns 17 milions d’euros de benefici addicional a l’any.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Estrat\u00e8gia de judicialitzaci\u00f3<\/b><\/h3>\n

Davant un negoci d’aquesta grand\u00e0ria no resulta estrany que Agbar porti als tribunals qualsevol iniciativa encaminada a recuperar la gesti\u00f3 p\u00fablica del subministrament d’aigua, com detalla el portal <\/span>ctxt<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>Nom\u00e9s a Barcelona, aquesta multinacional i les seves entitats afins han presentat una quarantena d’accions judicials<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

La seva estrat\u00e8gia d’empantanar judicialment aquests processos per dilatar-los o diluir-los ha fet que fins i tot pos\u00e9s un contenci\u00f3s contra un simple conveni entre l’Ajuntament de Barcelona i l’\u00c0rea Metropolitana per a l’intercanvi d’informaci\u00f3 entre institucions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Un dels casos m\u00e9s sonats t\u00e9 a veure amb la <\/span>consulta que l’Ajuntament de Barcelona volia impulsar per con\u00e8ixer l’opini\u00f3 de la ciutadania sobre una eventual gesti\u00f3 p\u00fablica de l’aigua<\/b>. Diverses entitats, entre les quals es troba Agbar, van interposar recursos. Finalment, el Tribunal Superior de Just\u00edcia de Catalunya (TSJC) va suspendre el reglament de participaci\u00f3 ciutadana en la part relativa a les consultes i va impedir que la iniciativa tir\u00e9s endavant.<\/span><\/p>\n

El cas que afecta un major nombre de municipis \u00e9s el que Agbar va impulsar contra diversos consistoris de l’\u00c0rea Metropolitana de Barcelona<\/b>. Inicialment, una sent\u00e8ncia del TSJC en 2016 va anul\u00b7lar la concessi\u00f3 a Aig\u00fces de Barcelona del subministrament d’aigua en diversos municipis del cintur\u00f3 metropolit\u00e0, amb la qual l’empresa s’assegurava el servei a gaireb\u00e9 tres milions d’habitants durant 35 anys i uns ingressos de 3.500 milions d’euros. El tribunal veia “motius d’anul\u00b7laci\u00f3 per vicis en el proc\u00e9s de contractaci\u00f3” quan es va constituir l’empresa mixta en la qual participava Agbar. Tot i aix\u00f2, el Tribunal Suprem va revocar aquesta sent\u00e8ncia l\u2019any 2019 en considerar que el procediment emprat per l’Administraci\u00f3 per adjudicar el servei sense concurs p\u00fablic estava avalat per la Llei de contractes del sector p\u00fablic.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pr\u00e0ctiques t\u00e8rboles<\/b><\/h3>\n

Com <\/span>denunciava<\/span><\/a> Eloi Badia, regidor d’Emerg\u00e8ncia Clim\u00e0tica i Transici\u00f3 Ecol\u00f2gica de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona, les t\u00e8rboles pr\u00e0ctiques d’Agbar per aconseguir concessions l’han dut a ser<\/span> imputat en tres macrocauses judicials<\/b> (Pok\u00e9mon, P\u00fanica i Petrum), a m\u00e9s de ser expulsat en 2017 de la gesti\u00f3 de l’aigua a Girona despr\u00e9s de demostrar-se la seva vinculaci\u00f3 amb la trama del 3%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Els informes d’aquesta \u00faltima causa constataven que, durant m\u00e9s de dues d\u00e8cades, <\/span>els gironins van pagar m\u00e9s d’1 mili\u00f3 d’euros de sobrecost pel servei d’aigua<\/b>. A m\u00e9s, l’Ag\u00e8ncia Tribut\u00e0ria advertia que els directius de l’empresa havien carregat despeses personals a la societat i va concloure que Girona SA havia cobrat centenars de milers d’euros per serveis no prestats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Com expliquem en l’<\/span>article<\/span><\/a> “Els serveis p\u00fablics, cada vegada m\u00e9s privatitzats”, <\/span>la privatitzaci\u00f3 de serveis essencials avan\u00e7a de manera implacable a Europa des dels anys vuitanta<\/b>. I aix\u00f2 est\u00e0 tenint un preu inq\u00fcestionable per al conjunt de la ciutadania. L’agent d’11Onze Jordi Coll apunta que aquest proc\u00e9s ha suposat sotmetre la prestaci\u00f3 d’aquests serveis “a la l\u00f2gica de criteris de mercat i, per tant, dels beneficis privats”.<\/span><\/p>\n
