Le prix de l\u2019eau chez Nor\u00e9ade est en effet plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 que la moyenne nationale et r\u00e9gionale.

Dans son m\u00e9moire en r\u00e9ponse aux observations des magistrats, le pr\u00e9sident de la r\u00e9gie Paul Raoult se d\u00e9fend : \u00ab<\/span> ce prix n\u2019est que de 4,7 % plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 que la moyenne nationale et de 1,8 % plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 que pour la moyenne<\/span> r\u00e9gionale, malgr\u00e9 le caract\u00e8re majoritairement rural du syndicat \u00bb.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Je l\u2019assume. Si vous voulez une politique de renouvellement des r\u00e9seaux, refaire des stations d\u2019\u00e9puration, investir, il faut un prix \u00e9lev\u00e9.<\/span> \u00bb Mais cet argumentaire ne convainc pas les magistrats financiers. \u00ab<\/span> Nor\u00e9ade a<\/span> accumul\u00e9 une<\/span> tr\u00e9sorerie<\/span> excessive au regard de l\u2019absence d\u2019identification de besoins imm\u00e9diats de financement d\u2019investissement<\/span> \u00bb, souligne <\/span>la Chambre<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Elle affirme qu\u2019entre 2017 et 2021, la r\u00e9gie aurait pu \u00ab<\/span> supporter une diminution de 20 % de ses tarifs d\u2019eau et d\u2019assainissement sans avoir recours \u00e0 l\u2019endettement \u00bb.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

M\u00eame si la p\u00e9riode 2021\u20132025 a \u00e9t\u00e9 caract\u00e9ris\u00e9e par une forte inflation des co\u00fbts justifiant l\u2019augmentation<\/span> des<\/span> tarifs,<\/span> la<\/span> situation<\/span> financi\u00e8re<\/span> favorable<\/span> ant\u00e9rieure<\/span> du<\/span> syndicat<\/span> aurait<\/span> pu<\/span> permettre d\u2019\u00e9chelonner davantage ces hausses. \u00ab<\/span> Les tarifs de l\u2019eau et de l\u2019assainissement doivent ob\u00e9ir \u00e0 un principe de n\u00e9cessit\u00e9, exhortent les magistrats. Leur niveau n\u2019est justifi\u00e9 que par les charges qu\u2019ils couvrent pour le bon fonctionnement du service. \u00bb<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Le<\/span><\/span> rejet<\/span><\/span> de<\/span><\/span> tarifs<\/span><\/span> sociaux<\/span><\/span> pour<\/span><\/span> les<\/span><\/span> plus<\/span><\/span> modestes<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sous<\/span> la<\/span> pression<\/span> des<\/span> s\u00e9cheresses<\/span> successives<\/span> dues<\/span> au<\/span> changement<\/span> climatique,<\/span> la<\/span> ressource<\/span> en<\/span> eau<\/span> se rar\u00e9fie. Pour inciter \u00e0 diminuer la consommation, Nor\u00e9ade a mis en place r\u00e9cemment, depuis 2022, une<\/span> progressivit\u00e9<\/span> des<\/span> tarifs<\/span> par<\/span> tranche<\/span> de<\/span> consommation.<\/span> Le<\/span> principe :<\/span> moins<\/span> on<\/span> consomme,<\/span> moins on paye.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mais les magistrats identifient une faille la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e : puisque le prix de l\u2019abonnement est le m\u00eame pour tous et qu\u2019il est \u00e9lev\u00e9, les petits consommateurs paient proportionnellement leur eau plus chers que les gros clients. D\u2019apr\u00e8s leurs calculs, un foyer consommant 80 m\u00e8tres cubes (m3) d\u2019eau paye 2,33 euros\/m3 alors qu\u2019un foyer consommant 120 m3 paye 2,25 euros\/m3. La direction explique avoir baiss\u00e9 le co\u00fbt de l\u2019abonnement apr\u00e8s cette alerte. \u00ab<\/span> Cela a contribu\u00e9, malgr\u00e9 la p\u00e9riode<\/span> d\u2019inflation,<\/span> \u00e0<\/span> stabiliser<\/span> ou<\/span> \u00e0<\/span> faire<\/span> baisser<\/span> la<\/span> facture<\/span> pour<\/span> les<\/span> abonn\u00e9s<\/span> qui<\/span> consomment<\/span> moins de 80 m\u00e8tres cubes<\/span> \u00bb, affirme le pr\u00e9sident Paul Raoult.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Les m\u00e9nages les plus modestes restent n\u00e9anmoins les plus impact\u00e9s par ces prix \u00e9lev\u00e9s. Or, le pr\u00e9sident de la r\u00e9gie refuse d\u2019introduire des tarifs sociaux pour les soulager. \u00ab<\/span> C\u2019est une administration pas possible, on ne conna\u00eet pas les revenus des gens<\/span> \u00bb, objecte<\/span>\u2010<\/span>t<\/span>\u2010<\/span>il. <\/span>\u00ab<\/span> \u00c0 425 000 abonn\u00e9s,<\/span> on<\/span> ne<\/span> sait<\/span> pas<\/span> faire<\/span> \u00e7a,<\/span> rench\u00e9rit<\/span> le<\/span> directeur<\/span> g\u00e9n\u00e9ral<\/span> Fran\u00e7ois<\/span> B\u00e9raud.<\/span> On<\/span> g\u00e8re<\/span> 600<\/span> 000 factures par an, c\u2019est d\u00e9j\u00e0 compliqu\u00e9. \u00bb<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La r\u00e9gie \u00e9carte \u00e9galement un autre levier permettant d\u2019aider les m\u00e9nages en situation de grande vuln\u00e9rabilit\u00e9 : la mise en place d\u2019une tranche de consommation gratuite, comme la loi le permet depuis 2019. \u00ab<\/span> Je suis contre, mart\u00e8le Paul Raoult.

En compl\u00e9ment d’information\u00a0 \u00e0 propos de Qui\u00e9ry<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Il fut un temps o\u00f9 une association qui\u00e9rysienne s’est battue contre le passage de la gestion municipale \u00e0 la gestion publique avec Nor\u00e9ade.
\nIl y eut m\u00eame une proposition alternative \u00e0 cette gestion publique \u2026 pour conserver la maitrise de l\u2019eau ; bien entendu, elle n’a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 retenue, apr\u00e8s un simulacre de sondage. Cela s’est pass\u00e9 entre 2008 et 2014.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Puis sont arriv\u00e9es les \u00e9lections municipales de 2014. Au second tour, une liste n’a pas voulu s’associer avec une autre. Ce qui fait que le maire sortant, non \u00e9lu au premier tour, a pu passer au second tour … avec toute sa liste ! Donc, la premi\u00e8re d\u00e9cision importante (\u00a0!) du nouveau conseil municipal de 2014 a \u00e9t\u00e9 de donner les cl\u00e9s de l\u2019eau \u00e0 … Nor\u00e9ade. Cela s’est pass\u00e9 lors d’une r\u00e9union de conseil municipal qui avait 15 points \u00e0 l’ordre du jour. Ce fut b\u00e2cl\u00e9 en … 30 minutes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Depuis ce temps, la facture d’eau a grimp\u00e9, grimp\u00e9, grimp\u00e9 !!! Autant il est facile de rentrer dans le SIDEN-SIAN et sa r\u00e9gie Nor\u00e9ade, autant c’est tr\u00e8s difficile d’en sortir … plus que de sortir de Veolia ! Merci Monsieur l’ancien maire.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Question qui ne concerne pas directement l\u2019ancien maire – quoique ! : comment se fait-il qu’une structure qui n’a pas d’actionnaires (donc pas de b\u00e9n\u00e9fice \u00e0 donner \u00e0 ces profiteurs, comme chez Veolia) arrive \u00e0 faire payer un prix fort aux usagers ? Est-ce que les \u00e9lu.es (au moins 130, ou maires, ou adjoints ou conseillers municipaux) qui constituent le comit\u00e9 syndical de Nor\u00e9ade se servent g\u00e9n\u00e9reusement ?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La transparence n\u2019est pas le point fort de Nor\u00e9ade\u00a0!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il faut rappeler que le pr\u00e9sident de ce comit\u00e9 – sauf erreur sur le site du SIDEN-SIAN – est actuellement conseiller municipal du Quesnoy (ancien multi-cartes), presqu\u2019\u00e2g\u00e9 de 81 ans et qu\u2019il est en poste depuis tr\u00e8s longtemps.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
