The Public Sector Procurement Platform publishes the tender to execute the sanitation and wastewater treatment plant of the coastal town of El Golfo with an estimated value of 1.4 million euros, a project drafted by the Yaiza City Council, which also obtained a subsidy of one million euros from the State to carry it out. The contracting body is the Cabildo of Lanzarote and the deadline for submitting offers expires on May 23, 2025.
“It is a project that we have been demanding for years, the execution of which has been delayed by bureaucratic procedures, including the approval of the competent environmental body, but which is finally seeing the light. We only hope that the tender will be awarded within the established period, that the contract will be signed with the company that is awarded the contract and that the works will begin and be completed within the execution period of ten months,” says the mayor of Yaiza, Óscar Noda.
The works include the installation of a sanitation network in the town center and the construction of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) that adequately treats the water from homes and commercial establishments, mostly restaurants, in El Golfo.
As promoter of the project, Yaiza has defended the urgency of its execution “since the execution of the actions will allow the adequate treatment of wastewater and with it the improvement of the environmental quality of the nucleus located in the Natural Park of the Volcanoes.”
The delay in the execution of the sanitation has also meant delaying another municipal project for El Golfo, the rehabilitation of the town's main street, pending reinforcement of the pavement and paving. Last January, the mayor of Yaiza warned the Cabildo of the risk of losing state funds if the sanitation project remained bogged down.
