The capital has invested over 14 million euros in pumping stations and hydraulic networks. The municipal goal is to achieve zero discharge, allowing wastewater to be treated and reused in parks and gardens instead of being released into the ocean.
The latest addition to this system is the Los Alisios Wastewater Pumping Station (EBAR), which involved an investment of 7.1 million euros. This facility is strategic for the Southwest district and joins completed works in Anaga, including Taganana, Igueste de San Andrés, and San Andrés-María Jiménez.
Although the municipal network will be ready by the end of the year, local authorities point out that the expansion of the Buenos Aires treatment plant has been delayed by nearly four years. This supra-municipal facility receives water from Santa Cruz, La Laguna, and El Rosario, prompting the city council to demand a change in its management.
Meanwhile, the operation of the Los Alisios EBAR has caused noise complaints from residents in Ciudad Satélite due to the power generator. The City Council clarified that this system is temporary until the final connection to the power grid is completed, after which the generator will serve only as an emergency backup.
