The climate and accessibility to quality water, in quantity and at a contained price, in Wallonia

Indeed, if a couple can expect to spend 386 euros, on average, for a normal annual consumption (68 m³) of water, the existence of eight major distributors – including SWDE, CILE and In BW – and 38 different municipal authorities prevents all Walloons from paying the same price.

The clever calculation of the price of water: we explain everything to you

Just as the bill for a single person – whose average water needs were estimated at 34 m³ in 2021 – can already vary by 60 euros over a year, the price differences between the least expensive municipality (Rouvroy) and the locality the most expensive (Vresse-sur-Semois) become even more substantial as annual consumption increases. In a region where it is considered that a three-person household (a couple and a child) uses 104 m³ of water per year, the final bill can thus go from 459 euros to 626 euros, a difference of… 167 euros!

Municipal authorities more often at the margins

Yet calculated everywhere in the same way by companies that “do not make profits but must not make losses either”, the price of water varies above all according to the true cost of distribution, i.e. say all the costs relating to the production and distribution of water such as collection costs, pumping or maintenance of connections. Lower costs in many municipal authorities such as Rouvroy, Meix-devant-Virton, Saint-Léger or even Musson… but sometimes more (much) higher as in Tellin, Nassogne and Vresse-sur-Semois.

“At the end of the last legislature, the majority planned to sell our network to SWDE. But for my group, it’s not regarding that. We will keep the water as long as possible. Water is a fundamental source of revenue for municipalities. The future oil will be water”, already underlined in 2022 Frédéric Martin, the alderman of Vresse-sur-Semois in charge of the distribution of water, to defend the prices practiced in his commune.

Finally, because the various distribution networks are aging and inflation (salaries, materials, etc.) has gone through this, the true cost price of distribution has increased by a few euro cents at several distributors, including CILE and the SWDE. Race results? Between 2022 and 2023, the price of water will increase by a few euros within the same municipality.

The young Byron was four years old when the family moved to Los Angeles and it was at school that his abilities for the painting. His teachers encouraged him and, having obtained a scholarship, he studied at the Chouinard Art Institute from 1948 to 1950, until his enlistment in the American army. He will go to war in Korea as an officer.

Supported in France by L’école des loisirs

Resuming studies in 1953, for three full years, before moving to New York where Byron Barton worked as an illustrator in an studio and then as a designer of animated films at CBS. First work in the world of publishing in 1969: line illustrations, in a rather minimalist style, for A Girl called Alcourt roman de Constance C. Greene, chez Viking Press.

In 1971, Seabury press published Elephantalbum without text of which Byron Barton is both author and illustrator, a pretty story regarding a little girl who, by dint of seeing him everywhere, in dreams as in books, ends up really meeting him, this famous elephant.

Although he occasionally illustrated texts by Seymour Simon (The Paper airplane book1971), the Jack Prelutsky (The Snopp on the sidewalk1976), Russell Hoban (Arthur’s new power1978), de Marjorie Weinman Sharmat (Gila monsters meet you at the airport1990), the Sarah Weeks (Little factory1998) and Charlotte Pomerantz, Where’s the bear ?2003), Byron Barton was recognized by prescribers and appreciated by very young readers for his adaptations of The three bearsin 1991, and The Little red henin 1993, as well as for his series of notional albums such as 1982, Airportin 1982, Boats, Trucks, Trains, Planesall four in 1986, My Car, My Bus, My Bike, My Housebetween 2001 and 2016. French edition, with great regularity, Recreation school.

A final album in 2016

Byron Barton’s sense of economy, both in his drawings and in his texts, is certainly the primary reason for his enduring fame. ” What makes my work appealing to children is that the simplicity makes things easy to understand. I also think there is an attraction for my bright colors. I want my drawings to be fun and I want them to be informative. The way the lines and the shapes are drawn, the way the colors are put together agree with this intention. I am influenced by children’s drawings and, I believe, children can feel it. »

Special mention for The tiny lady (L’école des loisirs, 1996) who, in front of a very small bowl of milk, cries for the very small cat that she had chased away one day in great anger. The tiny cat, very hungry, comes back – following a tiny long time. 2016 will be the year of the ultimate album for Byron Barton who, from then on, will be interested, artistically speaking, in the work of textiles.
