The Vallehermoso City Council has taken a crucial step by commissioning the project's development for the construction of the La Dama Wastewater Treatment Plant (EDAR), addressing a long-standing community demand.

This initiative aims to implement a modern sanitation and treatment system, adapted to both the current and future needs of the La Dama area. After evaluating various proposals and locations, the Council has proposed situating the infrastructure in the area currently occupied by the La Dama sports court, a site that meets the necessary technical requirements for the project.
The project commission will now allow for a detailed study of the future facility's technical characteristics. Its integration into the environment and its capacity to manage wastewater generated by existing units and future projections will be analyzed.

"With the commissioning of this project, we take an important step to respond to a community demand that has been a need for La Dama for years. Now we must work to ensure the planned solution integrates perfectly into the environment and provides a modern, efficient infrastructure prepared to meet the current and future needs of the area."

The new treatment plant will follow the same typology and criteria as the EDAR planned for Chipude, forming part of a broader municipal strategy to progressively modernize sanitation and treatment systems throughout the municipality. The goal is to advance towards an integrated wastewater management model, minimizing potential impacts such as odors or noise.
The City Council emphasizes that this action represents a significant advancement in improving sanitation infrastructure in La Dama, promoting more efficient and sustainable wastewater management and enhancing the overall conditions of the area.
