The Proinba Association aspires to amend the Balearic Islands' Urban Planning Law to facilitate the processing of real estate projects even if the water supply has not been approved. The document arrives after the developers have encountered difficulties in moving<a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/society/where-will-the-water-come-from-for-the-9-000-homes-in-palma-s-strategic-projects_1_5758617.html" > forward with the projects that aim to address the housing emergency.</a>The regulatory reform that they have sent to Parliament would allow apartments to be approved first and then resolve whether they have the water necessary for future inhabitants legally guaranteed. This is the type of approach that courts have struck down in other territories, reminding that the order is the other way around: first it is necessary to prove that there is water, and then begin with licenses and permits.</p>]]></description>

This way, the regional government could justify paying the Mancomunidad for truckloads of water, which cost more than €500,000 each year. On the other hand, the Regional Ministry of the Sea and the Water Cycle has committed to launching a subsidy before the end of the year so that the Mancomunidad's towns can meet the additional costs of purchasing water to supply Porreres, Algaida, and, above all, Montuïri.</p>]]></description>
