Ciudadanos (Cs) has denounced this Monday "the total abandonment of the Maretas de Guatisea", a hydraulic work that has "six cubicles excavated inside the mountain that could store 1,500,000 liters each", but that unfortunately "is in a situation of neglect and deterioration".
In this regard, the municipal spokesman of Cs in the City Council of San Bartolomé, Javier Lemes, has pointed out that "since November 2017, the only action that has been carried out by Canal Gestión Lanzarote was a security wall", in which "2,000 euros were invested to, later, abandon it to its fate".
In this sense, he has reproached the water company for "not having fulfilled the commitment to undertake an investment of around 60,000 euros, in order to "rehabilitate and carry out maintenance of these deposits and their canals".
Likewise, Lemes has explained that also from private initiatives, on several occasions, "attempts have been made to propose rehabilitation projects for the Maretas", urging the Cabildo and the Government of the Canary Islands in its Heritage Area, but "no responsible person has so far taken action on the matter".
Therefore, the municipal spokesman of the orange formation in San Bartolomé is studying to take a motion to the plenary session in March, in order to raise it later to the Government of the Canary Islands, which contemplates a project of rehabilitation and maintenance of the Maretas de Guatisea, to, later, "put in place a system of agricultural water supply in our municipality", in order that the areas of Islote, Montaña Blanca, el Jable and the lower part of San Bartolomé and Güime "can cover the deficiencies that until now the primary sector has been suffering".
