The investment, to be voted on in the July ordinary plenary session, will be divided into two tranches: 11.4 million euros for 2026 and 24.1 million for 2027, with execution planned for 2028 and 2029. The objective is to resolve pipeline issues and prevent recurring overflows and floods.
As explained by Francisco Hernández Spínola, Councilor for Presidency, Finance, Modernization, Human Resources, and Water, Emalsa will be responsible for project development and construction management. The City Council, through the wholly-owned company Geursa, will tender and award the works, seeking more efficient management than traditional public procurement.
The municipal report justifies the decision to entrust Geursa with execution as a more efficient and sustainable option to accelerate priority investments, including the renovation of the Teatro Pumping Station, a critical point in the city's sanitation system, and actions to achieve 'zero discharge'.
Municipal priorities focus on 'zero discharge', with works planned at five key points in the city, such as the construction of new pumping stations and storm tanks in the San José and Lady Harimaguada areas, as well as improvements to the Barranco Seco Wastewater Treatment Plant.
