The Vallehermoso City Council has awarded the construction of the Chipude Wastewater Treatment Plant (EDAR), an investment exceeding 500,000 euros to improve sanitation.

The Vallehermoso City Council has awarded the execution of the Chipude Wastewater Treatment Plant (EDAR). This infrastructure, aimed at improving wastewater management and the sanitation system of the area, is part of the hydraulic works agreement between the Vallehermoso City Council, the La Gomera Island Council, the Government of the Canary Islands, and the Insular Water Council.
The project has a budget of over 500,000 euros, financed through a recent amendment to the agreement. The future treatment plant will provide a specific system for managing wastewater generated in Chipude, addressing current needs and projected population growth.
The mayor of Vallehermoso, Emiliano Coello, highlighted that the award of the Chipude EDAR finalizes a key infrastructure for wastewater management and sanitation. He emphasized the cooperation between administrations to secure the necessary funding and the importance of planning such facilities considering the evolution of the areas and the capacity of basic services.
This action joins other planned improvements to the municipality's sanitation and treatment systems, adapting service management to the characteristics of each area. Inter-administrative collaboration has been crucial in securing funding for this infrastructure, included in the hydraulic works agreement and updated via amendment.
