What councilor Marco Santana accuses is that the company in charge Solo Verde, is not complying with the contract to maintain the toilet in Valdivia. He assures that having long grass can cause infestations of mice or fires. On the part of the municipality they affirm that the grass has grown more due to the rain and the heat of the last days.
A possible breach of contract by the Solo Verde company, in charge of maintaining Valdivia’s sanitation, denounced councilor Marco Santana, demanding an explanation from the municipality.
Santana pointed out that the problem is related to the maintenance of the grass in the city, since the conditions of the agreement signed between the company and the community administration are not being met. In other words, the grass is tall and exceeds the 10 cm stipulated by the regulations.
The councilor stated that the situation is worrisome because risk situations could be generated, such as infestations of mice and even fires.
Thus, the mayor requested explanations from the Department of Cleaning and Ornament of the municipality, as well as to know the audits that have been carried out on the company and the possible fines issued.
The administrator of the Municipality of Valdivia, Cristian Oñate, ruled out a breach of contract by Solo Verde, assuring that the grass has grown due to the rain and temperatures of recent days.
According to what he said , in December another 20 people will join the maintenance work in the city, assuring that since October they have been carrying out work on Saturday and Sunday.
Meanwhile, from the Municipality of Valdivia they specified that the legislation establishes that it is the “responsibility of each owner to cut grass on their front, sidewalks, and sides.”
