This initiative, already drafted and soon to be tendered, aims to significantly improve the guarantee of potable water supply in the coastal area of Vecindario, which has experienced significant population growth since 2000. The investment, exceeding 1.4 million euros, comes from the Gran Canaria Water Council, providing the municipality with greater water autonomy.

Currently, the supply network operates in a U-shape configuration, connecting Casa Pastores with Doctoral via the lower bypass. The connection through Canalejas Street has a smaller diameter pipe, which limits the system's capacity. The project involves installing a new 600-millimeter pipeline, which will multiply the current capacity, barely reaching 150 millimeters in some sections, as explained by Water Councillor, José Miguel Vera.

The closure of the hydraulic ring will also provide greater flexibility to the network, allowing supply to be redirected from different points in case of breakdowns. This will ensure service continuity, as incidents are usually resolved within 24 to 32 hours, a period that the new capacity will more than cover. The final route of the new pipeline will avoid urban areas, running mainly through the Polvo ravine, although specific interventions are planned in areas such as Los Llanos, Balos, and the vicinity of the Atlántico shopping center for connections and section replacements.

This project was presented to the public at the City Council's stand during the first Water and Sustainability Fair, held last Friday in the Plaza de los Algodoneros in Vecindario. During the day, over 300 schoolchildren participated in talks and workshops on sustainability and the water cycle, given by the Technological Institute of Canarias and the company Canaragua, while in the afternoon, the general public enjoyed talks and a concert by Los 600.
