Headlines - Latest News: All Aboard for Desalination Plants

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:59:31 +0000

Those of us who have lived in Jávea some time will remember the time when saline water came out of our taps, washing anything was a nightmare and house plants died from too much salt. We had to collect fresh water from large roadside tanks. Our desalination plant was an initiative by the present mayor, Eduardo Monfort, in a previous administration. No other municipality took the initiative and the risks at that time. It is no wonder that the Town Hall wants to hang on to control of its drinking water capacity now that everyone else is jumping on the bandwagon.

Headlines - Latest News: Flood Calendar for Charity

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 19:22:25 +0000

Charity begins at home? Not it appears for those who are still waiting for ( or unlikely to receive) compensation for their losses in the October floods in Javea of October last. An opportunity to provide neighbourly support lost with local charitable funds raised going to who knows where and whom in Mauretania, whether deservedly or probably not. Timo Dee

Real Estate Agencies go Bust: Unsold lettuces go limp

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:21:12 +0000

Santiago Baena knows a thing or two about the market place, as there is no income from trying to sell an oversupply of lettuces; they just go limp.However, at the right price, and that probably far lower than folk in this very limp and oversupplied property market are currently prepared to accept, bricks and mortar, if legal, will sell, albeit sluggishly.

Javea Rejects Plan to expand the port: Port Expansion

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:00:40 +0000

I am away all this week but really appreciate keeping up to date on this site, so many thanks Chris.
It occurred to me that if we concentrated on getting the coastline made a protected area it would be a start. It should be easy, as I understand it the proposal was sent to Valencia and its only their incompetance that it wasn't processed. Or am being naive? Anyway it is a cause we could all support and we could petition Madrid, get Greenpeace on side, write letters to Spainsh and english press etc. etc..
If we could get this passed then any proposals to extend the port would have to respect it - or is that naive too?

Modern Irrigation uses less water but more energy: Domestic electricity will also go up

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:57:32 +0000

The cost of domestic electricity will rise after July 1st. According to the Economist (June 28th 2008) The average increase will be about 5.6%, but some families will see a rise of 16%. This is due to the gradual removal of Governemnt subsidies. The cumulative difference between what it costs power companies to produce power and what they are allowed to charge for it, the "tariff deficit" has now ballooned to €14 billion.

News - 2008 Municipal Budget: Holes in the flaw?

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:48:14 +0000

Is this sustainable?
Can the gap between income and expenditure only be filled by selling off €2.2 millions worth of patrimonio land? How about next yearand the year after?
And as for the overspend on fiestas, it is probably already way over spent again this year, while the chap in charge of Javea's finances is also in charge of fiestas…..so what next?
