Introduction

This video discusses the prefectural requisition regarding water and the renewal of activated carbon in four factories in southern Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe. The main focus is on the conflict between the SMGAG (Syndicat Mixte de Gestion de l'Eau et de l'Assainissement de la Guadeloupe), the prefecture, and ACPM Ingénierie, the company responsible for supplying the activated carbon. The video features an interview with Xavier Marc, the director general of ACPM Ingénierie, to explain his side of the situation.

Key Takeaways

• A prefectural requisition was issued for the renewal of activated carbon filters in four factories. ACPM Ingénierie, the usual supplier, refused to comply.
• ACPM Ingénierie's director, Xavier Marc, claims he refused due to outstanding payments from the SMGAG and a lack of financial guarantees. He alleges approximately €70,000 in unpaid invoices. He also contested aspects of the requisition as defamatory.
• The SMGAG has already found a replacement supplier and ordered the necessary activated carbon. This new order will arrive too late for some factories.
• Initial water quality tests from May 5-22 were compliant with regulations. However, the ARS (Agence Régionale de Santé) will increase chlorine monitoring, with any exceedance of 0.1 microns per liter resulting in water usage restrictions.
• The administrative court ordered ACPM Ingénierie to renew the filters. This order came after SMGAG had already secured a new supplier.
