Since this Thursday, traffic has been restored under the Ring Road Bridge in Arrecife, a road that connects the neighborhoods of Titerroy and Argana through Hermanos Álvarez Quintero Street and its connection with the start of Tenderete Street.
The mayor of Arrecife, Yonathan de León, had demanded speed from the state company that is carrying out the work for the installation of the new submarine outfall network, works through the subsoil that crosses several neighborhoods of the capital of Lanzarote. This network provides services to the wastewater of Playa Honda, San Bartolomé and Arrecife, from the WWTP located in Montaña Mina.
Now, the Works Department has confirmed to the mayor that the works will continue through the Vía Medular area, where they have already placed informative signs of the construction zone.
ACUAES, the state company, is responsible for the execution of the works that have several areas of Arrecife, especially in the neighborhoods of Argana and Titerroy, affected in their mobility, as is also the case in José Pereira Galviaty Street.
A work to cover the needs of 90,000 inhabitants
The improvements in the network, which are delayed due to the resistance of the soil to be drilled, will serve a population of 90,000 inhabitants (the sum of the residents in the municipalities of Arrecife and San Bartolomé). They consist of the construction of a new treatment plant, with greater treatment capacity than the current one, as well as the rehabilitation of the Submarine Outfall that allows the evacuation of the treated flows in the WWTP, a work that is affecting the mobility of the residents of Titerroy and Argana.
The new treatment plant will have a treatment capacity of 12,000 cubic meters per day of average flow compared to the current 8,000 and will be equipped with a tertiary treatment with a production capacity of regenerated water of up to 6,000 m3/day, for its reuse in agricultural uses and garden irrigation.
