Given the complaints received by Aguas de Lanzarote y La Graciosa and the public statements about repeated breakdowns in Calderetas street, in San Bartolomé, Aguas de Lanzarote y La Graciosa considers it necessary to clarify the situation of this infrastructure and the pending steps to execute its renovation with the Lanzarote Water Consortium.
The Consortium is aware of the problems that the residents of this street have been suffering and the inconveniences caused by successive interventions on a network that presents a high rate of breakdowns. Precisely for this reason, the replacement of the existing pipelines has already been planned, with an estimated investment of more than 158,000 euros, aimed at reducing water losses and improving the reliability of the supply.
However, the solution to these problems cannot be limited to continuing to repair the breaks that occur. The integral renovation of the network is the planned action to address the deficiencies of the infrastructure in a lasting way and prevent repairs from being repeated recurrently.
"A renovation pending municipal procedures"
The project drafted by the Water Consortium with the technical assistance of the professionals from Aguas de Lanzarote y La Graciosa includes the installation of two new drinking water pipelines in the section between Rubicón and Timanfaya streets, in addition to the renovation of connections and regulation and control elements.
In order to advance its execution, the Consortium formally requested the collaboration of the San Bartolomé City Council to facilitate the availability of land and process the necessary reports, licenses, and authorizations.
Coordination between both administrations is especially important because the City Council plans to undertake the resurfacing of Calderetas street. And the Consortium's objective is to first execute the renovation of the pipelines and avoid having to dig up the road again to intervene on the supply network once it has been paved.
While waiting for the response from the San Bartolomé City Council and for the procedures to be completed, the teams from Aguas de Lanzarote y La Graciosa continue to address the incidents that occur, although these repairs do not replace the need to renovate an infrastructure whose deterioration causes recurrent problems.
From the Water Consortium and the service, the residents' discomfort is understood and the need to offer a lasting solution is shared. Therefore, it reiterates its willingness to coordinate with the San Bartolomé City Council the pending procedures to be able to advance in the execution of this work, which is considered necessary to improve the supply in the area.
The priority is that the residents of Calderetas stop suffering the consequences of a deteriorated network and that the planned renovation can materialize as soon as possible.
