An inspection tour to visit more than a dozen sources, carried out by members of the Board of Neighborhood Association Columbine-AVA-Eagles Citizen Forum, found that 80 per cent of those premises does not work.
Also, many of them have a sad state of dirt and even neglect, with damaged areas, there being several breaks caused by lack of maintenance, and even standing water resulting from rainfall.
There are graphic testimony of the places visited.
For two hours, AVA has toured the main parks, roundabouts and gardens with ornamental fountains in the town of Aguilas.
This inspection, carried out after receiving numerous complaints from residents of each zone that the negligence complained about the lack of municipal operation of the sources, found that approximately eight out of ten do not work or are damaged and it is also notable percentage of these facilities that look unkempt (some with pools of water rotten), containing various objects inside as well as paper, trash, leaves and branches of trees, and sometimes have a state of dilapidation resulting from the lack of jobs maintenance.
The directors of the Neighborhood Association, which took minutes with photographs of each area visited, began their journey to the source next to Eroski, completely dry, later moving to the Plaza de Juan Casuco, looking left, then the Residencial Los Jardines, whose source is fenced by a metal fence and where the residents claim, so as insistent as fruitless, that it be given protection measures to prevent children from falling to the interior, with the consequent danger .
Area residents say the facility has now been nine months without work and that was fenced off two weeks after the City Council over the project residential.
In the Plaza Alfonso Ortega Carmona (Capri Plaza Building) are a fountain and another to drink it seems they have never seen a single drop of water, according to testimony from area residents.
Located in the playground, facing the Casino, the ducks are long gone, and the pond is dry and in a lamentable state of neglect.
The Plaza de Alfonso Escámez not have water and the neighbors do not even remember the last time I saw it work.
In other neighborhoods of the municipality, the aquiline regret that the 'source' of the place is almost as symbolic of this is just the name.
In addition, there are numerous complaints about the lack of drinking fountains (and also those who are not working), whose placement have urged the City Council but to no avail.
