Near Montluçon, the Sainte-Agathe golf course ordered to stop illegally pumping water

For his last community council as president, Daniel Dugléry strove this Wednesday June 10, 2020 to ridicule the water police, guilty according to him of a “Kafkaesque situation”.

State services noted during the summer of 2019, during the drought, irregularities in the way the Sainte-Agathe golf course takes water for watering its land.

Under penalty of legal proceedings

Golfers are accused of pumping water from the Polier stream in too large a quantity and at a time outside the nails.

Montluçon community, owner of the golf course, was ordered to comply, under penalty of a ban on taking water or legal proceedings.

A big hole that would cost 200,000 euros

The community council voted on Wednesday to finance a study – costing 20,000 euros – to bring it up to standard. The idea would be to create a new reservoir to allow the golf course to have water supplies in the summer. A big hole that could cost 200,000 euros, according to a figure given Wednesday by Daniel Dugléry.

This golf course, a “bottomless pit” according to a mayor

Purchased in the early 2000s from an individual by the community of communes, when Daniel Dugléry was already president, the golf of Sainte-Agathe has the appearance of a “bottomless pit”, said the mayor of Lignerolles Thierry Penthier , recalling that the community “already gives 65,000 euros in subsidies each year”.
