From what I can gather in the press:

-GALASA was paid €50,000 by Albox town hall to keep the water running for at least another 30 days.
-There is still €800,000 outstanding in back water bills.
-The town hall is expected to fire GESTAGUA and replace them with GALASA as the water suppliers for the area.
-GESTAGUA, which still has several years of the contract left to run, is expected to take Albox to court for a large sum of money for a breach of contract.

And the Albox taxpayer is somewhat poorer.
