Campoamor street in Argana Alta floods for the third time after another pipe burst

Just a week ago, in this same street there was another burst pipe that caused a huge sinkhole more than two meters in diameter that opened under the road.

Although at first the neighbors thought it was the same pipe that had broken a week ago, from the Arrecife City Council they have confirmed to La Voz that it is a different one that belongs to the company Canal Gestión, as clarified by the mayor, Yonathan de León.

It is a broken pipe that is in the roundabout that is located right on Tajaraste and Campoamor streets, near the CEIP Argana, where on September 25 a sinkhole of more than two meters in diameter appeared and that was repaired twice.

On the road you can see how the water runs on the pavement, in an area where it is not the first time that events of a certain similarity have occurred, since in 2014, in one of the streets also a sinkhole opened in the road where a bus was trapped inside.
