To see the work for themselves, on Friday 2nd May the mayor, Francisco Juan Mars, visited the facility accompanied by the Autonomous Secretary for Agriculture, Fishing, Food and Water, Alfredo González. They were given technical explanations of the processes and technologies being used in the treatment and purification of the sewage.
During his visit to the Plant, the Autonomous Secretary said that “it has been an expensive operation in both time, to carry it out, and investment, but it is a great work which was needed and urgently requested by the town”. Alfredo González went on to say that for him, “this investment combines benefits for residents and visitors in a widely known tourist area like Alcossebre, so that tourists and year-round residents can enjoy a better quality of tourism, with clean, quality water, and to this is added a benefit for the farmers in the area because the purified water will be used for irrigation, having passed through the different purification processes which will guarantee its use”.
González said that he was convinced that “in little more than a month, the facility could be opened and put into service”.
It should be remembered that the plan is for the plant to be more widely used and for this a network of sewage pipes has been installed connecting it to Alcala de Xivert, so that in future it will treat sewage from both centres of the municipality.
The mayor of Alcala de Xivert-Alcossebre, Francisco Juan Mars, pointed out that “it has been a long and complicated journey, but we now have the sewage plant. It is by far the greatest project ever completed by this town, besides being the most vitally necessary, both to guarantee the preservation of our natural environment and the quality of our beaches and marine life, and being the infrastructure necessary for the development of tourism in the town”. This was a target which, according to the mayor, had been achieved “thanks to the strong support from the Department in making it a priority”.
17 million euros have been invested in the Alcala de Xivert-Alcossebre Sewage Plant and it will first be put in service for Alcossebre, although it is planned to extend it to cover the whole municipality, for both residents and seasonal visitors, as it has a total capacity for the equivalent of 66,000 inhabitants.
