The mayor of Arrecife, Yonathan de León, stated this Monday at the extraordinary meeting of the Lanzarote Water Consortium that the company holding the concession for the integral water cycle should contribute the investments made in the maintenance of the network and detail the situation. Thus, the Consortium approved requiring Canal Gestión, the company in charge of water management on the island, to conduct external audits on the state of the water and sanitation network.
De León has expressed in a press release issued to the media "his enormous concern about the continuous cuts in the water supply to the population of Arrecife, where nearly half of the resident population of Lanzarote resides." For the mayor, "these high levels of breakdown are not understood, not only in the water supply network but also in the sanitation network, the maintenance of which corresponds to Canal Gestión Lanzarote. Residents pay a fee in their water bills for this sanitation network."
Meeting with the manager of Canal Gestión
Yonathan de León held a meeting at the mayor's office with the manager of Canal Gestión to learn about the measures that were planned to be adopted to avoid water cuts to the population.
Following the announcements made last year where the company Canal Gestión Lanzarote spoke of "problems" in the domestic water supply, the mayor of Arrecife met in July last year with the company's manager, David González Gil, to learn more about this situation and the consequences that residents could face in their homes due to foreseeable cuts in the network.
Cuts that have occurred repeatedly in recent months, also affecting the resident population of Arrecife. These have been the continuous breakdowns in the sanitation network, in addition to the domestic water distribution network.
