This project is essential for enhancing the water cycle and the sanitation and treatment system in the La Lajita area. The total investment for the upgrade exceeds €5 million, with half of this amount dependent on state funds.
Island councilor Adargoma Hernández is pressing the central government to approve this earmarked subsidy, which is directed to the Government of the Canary Islands and subsequently to the Cabildo. This initiative is a key part of the plans outlined in the Fuerteventura Insular Hydrological Plan and will increase the treatment capacity to 600 cubic meters per day.
Hernández highlighted the project's importance during the Canary Islands Water Council meeting, attended by representatives from the Government of the Canary Islands, other Island Councils, and relevant authorities. The meeting focused on monitoring general interest works across different hydrographic districts.
Furthermore, the significance of activating the Hydraulic Works Agreement between the autonomous community and the State was emphasized. This agreement is vital for advancing projects of public interest in desalination, water reuse, and other hydraulic actions deemed important by the Government of the Canary Islands.
