The GOB asks to stop the plan for the 10,000 flats in Palma: "They want to create water on paper"

Jaume Perelló — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 15:57:04 +0000

The GOB has formally requested that Palma City Councilhalt the processing of the Sustainable Water Management Plan (PGSA), with which Jaime Martínez and his team aim to obtain the necessary technical justification to have more water and be able to move forward with the 9,000 to 10,000 extra apartments from the strategic projects. Projects that are already being processed by different developers, but which both the City Council and the interested parties know cannot obtain a license at this time if the amount of water available in the municipality is not increased. This Sustainable Water Management Plan (PGSA) was initially approved by Cort on March 26th, but, according to the environmental organization, it contains very significant errors that force "its withdrawal". MÉS per Palma had already warned that this Plan did not meet all the requirements and denounced its approval due to the increase in consumption it foresees.

But even today, the phrase with which that critical columnist ended his text echoes in my mind: "We will be so poor that we will only have money".

Palma hotels pay up to nine times less for water with a custom Emaya tariff

Jaume Perelló — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 19:08:24 +0000

Emaya's water tariff, applied for years to hotel establishments, uses a specific calculation technique that modifies how progressivity is applied in the case of the tourism sector. The analysis of current tariffs, published in 2016, by a former company technician assures that the methodology, "designed for the hotels of Platja de Palma" establishes a consumption recalculation system "two rooms at a time", and generates a false division of expenses that significantly reduces the amount it would have to pay if progressivity were applied.
