The Teguise City Council has urgently opened a ditch in Costa Teguise to prevent future floods after the incidents that flooded several homes and hotels in the town on April 12.
The council has defended that this intervention will prevent new floods in the hotel area such as the Sands Beach, Apartamentos El Trébol or the HD and that, according to the tourism employers on the island, left three hotel establishments temporarily out of the market.
As confirmed to La Voz by the Councilor for Works and Roads of Teguise, Eugenio Robayna, this ditch has been opened from the Hotel Beatriz to the Camino de Los Ancones. The council has assured that the section of the Camino de Los Ancones, around four meters, is still to be completed. In this area, they have not yet decided how they will solve the risk of future floods.
The president of the Lanzarote Tourism Federation and Asolan, Susana Pérez, already demanded a week ago that the council act and warned about the floods that "with climate change will arrive, and our infrastructures must be prepared for it".
Meanwhile, a month after the damage caused by the rain, the Teguise mayor has assured that they are working to clean up the road, whose lack of maintenance has been the subject of neighborhood complaints.
In this way, the council has also announced that it will carry out a general cleaning in the El Hurón ravine.
