This significant action is designed to increase the treatment capacity of the facility, optimize the current system, and introduce substantial improvements in sludge dehydration and water regeneration. The infrastructure is considered vital for both the majorera capital and the entirety of Fuerteventura.
Both the Puerto del Rosario City Council and the Cabildo de Fuerteventura have expressed their satisfaction with the approval of this funding. Both institutions agree that this decision provides continuity to a long-demanded project and paves the way for the tender process of the works.
“"This is an important step to make a fundamental project for the municipality a reality."
“"The investment guarantees an essential action for the present and future of the municipality."
For his part, the counselor of Territorial Policy, Territorial Cohesion and Water of the Government of Canarias, Manuel Miranda, emphasized that the expansion of the WWTP is “key for the present and future of Fuerteventura,” as it will strengthen the island's water resilience and incorporate more efficient technologies.
From the City Council, the councilor for Municipal Services, David de León, highlighted the technical scope of the project, understanding that it will allow the facility to adapt to the current and future needs of Puerto del Rosario and advance towards more efficient water resource management.
The institutions have underscored the coordination between the Government of Canarias, the Cabildo, and the City Council to push forward this infrastructure. Its direct impact extends to areas such as sanitation, environmental protection, water reuse, and urban development of the municipality. The approval of the investment marks the beginning of the bidding phase, a necessary preliminary step before the commencement of the works.
