The municipalities of Teguise and San Bartolomé, in Lanzarote, will see their drinking water supply improved thanks to the signing of two contracts totaling over 5.29 million euros, with construction expected to start before summer.
The signing of these agreements, carried out during Holy Week, will allow work to begin on the drinking water supply network of the Central Line. This initiative comes almost five months after its approval by the Cabildo's Governing Council, and the long-term projects are expected to commence before the end of spring.
The largest undertaking will focus on San Bartolomé, with an investment close to 3.94 million euros. This project, which will span a year and a half, will affect areas between Mozaga and Montaña Mina, with results expected to be visible by late 2027. The execution will be carried out by Horinsa and associated entities.
In the municipality of Teguise, the contract has been signed with Hormiconsa Canarias and Inesco for an amount close to 1.36 million euros. This phase of the work is estimated to be completed within a maximum of nine months, which would allow the infrastructure to be operational by early 2027.

"This is a new branch that will start from the Montaña Mina reservoir and end at the connection of the Tinajo-Tao-Famara branches, to be executed in different phases through the municipalities of Teguise and San Bartolomé."

"We are committed to reducing losses, optimizing hydraulic performance, and strengthening service to homes, farms, and local businesses."
Once completed, the new pipelines will become part of the general infrastructure of the integrated water cycle, regardless of the operator responsible in 2027. The island councillor for Planning and Project Coordination, María Jesús Tovar, highlighted that hydraulic investment is a priority for the island government, channeling funds from the Canary Islands Development Fund.
