On 23rd November, municipal groups from Alcala-Alcossebre Council attended a meeting called to discuss the content and main conclusions included in the Alcala-Alcossebre municipality Master Plan for the Management of the Sewage System. The study had been carried out with the consensus of all the groups.
The plan, prepared by Facsa-Gestión Integral del Agua – the company holding the concession for the service – amounts to a total of 15,674,414 euros for the work to be carried out to completely renew the sewage network in Alcala and Alcossebre. As a priority, with a budget of 2,305,250 euros, it sets out the removal of counter slopes, the renewal of pipes in the plaza Vista Alegre and Promenade South in Alcossebre, improvements to the sewage pumping stations, the improvement of the separating network in the Plaza Constitución and Las Fuentes in Alcossebre, improvement to collection in the plaza Juan Vilanova in Alcala, as well a maximising the control of spillages.
The plan gives a diagnosis of the current situation with the sewage and proposes different solutions to ensure its correct operation, both during rainy periods and dry seasons, through the simulations in which how the network acts and the different mechanisms for relieving the water. The main problems are the insufficient diameter and the age of the network and of the electromechanical controlling elements. During heavy rain, the situation becomes worse and the network is overloaded and saturated.
After the meeting with the engineers who had drawn up the study, during which the councillors had been able to ask various questions, all the municipal groups were called for a meeting in three weeks time, to reach a consensus on how, in the most realistic way possible, to tackle carrying out these improvements, which are essential to guarantee that the sewage network will be kept in a good condition in the future. Town Planning councillor, José Colom, said that “this is a case of essential action, with a very great investment in the long term, which, as far as possible, is why we need the agreement of all the municipal groups and to seek the support of other bodies”.
