The mayor has expressed discomfort, as this treatment should have been conducted by the agency head of the river, the Segura basin (CHS), but the refusal to carry out this treatment, the City "as is happening on many occasions and in different municipal areas, has had to take over responsibilities that are unique to the state and finance, as the central government only argues that no budget to carry out, where they have always done.
