The Councilor for Presidency, Finance, Modernization, Human Resources, and Water, Francisco Hernández Spínola, reported on the progress during the Urban Planning, Housing, Sustainable Development, and Mobility Plenary Commission. He highlighted advancements in the installation of the medium-voltage line and the execution of the treated water line, as well as earthmoving and trench preparation for the pumping lines.
Hernández Spínola stated that "the works are progressing well, materials are arriving, and forecasts remain on schedule." The works are being carried out with the planned mobility measures, including traffic diversions and the relocation of bus stops, which are functioning without incident.
The councilor explained that the planning has considered the economic and commercial activity in the area during the Christmas campaign in Triana to avoid disruption. "We have prioritized commerce and citizens who want to visit Triana during that time and shop without the difficulties of construction," he affirmed.
The project, declared an emergency after structural collapse in March due to storm ‘Therese’, has an investment of 3.58 million euros. It will replace the main conduit, renew the pumping lines, and restore the safety of a 56-year-old infrastructure.
Approximately 85% of the wastewater from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria passes through the Teatro EBAR, being pumped to the Barranco Seco Wastewater Treatment Plant (EDAR). The complex works, including excavations up to six meters deep, require the sanitation service to remain operational.
