Budapest is helping the cities of Pest County in trouble
In addition to the broken cars, Budapest Public Utilities also sent 2 sprinkler cars reserved for drinking water transport to Solymár. Thus, the companies of the capital in Solymár with a total of 3 cars in trouble.
Water is a huge value and Budapest is very lucky to have a good quality and reliable water supply in European comparison, which is due to the natural conditions of the more than 150-year-old excellent professional team of Fővárosi Vízművek, writes in the entry the mayor.
It is no coincidence that the problem first occurs in overcrowded agglomerations. The network there was not put to such a heavy load
Christmas thinks.
He also drew attention to the fact that the Hungarian water utility system is in a terribly bad condition. There is a city where nearly half of drinking water simply disappears into the soil. And the government is not there to help with developments, but it is even imposing a special tax on utility companies, which are typically municipally owned. For example, in 2020 the rate of tax paid by Fővárosi Vízművek was increased 4.5 times (!), Which meant minus HUF 2.5 billion.
Tamás Menczer, a Fidesz Member of Parliament in the 2nd constituency of Pest County, previously called the lack of water in Solymár a disaster. According to the service provider, Duna Menti Regional Waterworks (DMRV) Zrt., The cause of the problem is not the lack of water, but the increased water consumption due to the capacity of the system and the heatwave.
