The construction of a regulating tank adapted to current health legislation, in a preferential area that supplies the entire urban area and, if necessary, Los Roques and Las Eras is an urgent need for the Canary Coalition (CC) in Fasnia As such, he raised it in the last plenary session. The municipal government (PSOE) rejected such urgency, although “at this very moment the Fasnia, La Zarza, Las Eras and Pino del Agua ponds are being rehabilitated, adapting them to health regulations,” he explains. the mayor, Luis Javier González.
These works are carried out within the framework of the Municipal Cooperation Plan which now concludes, while the nationalists’ proposal proposes its inclusion in the 2022-2025 period. Four-year period for which CC claims the Plan’s investment in completing the sanitation of the urban area and connecting it with the treatment plant located in Los Roques, “passing through the Camino del Cuchillo”.
Pedro Hernández, spokesperson for CC in Fasnia, ensures that the Consistory has, for more than 12 years, with a project to undertake such a connection of sewage between the midlands and the coast. Its realization would solve the problem of wastewater in the center of the urban area, where public services and facilities and the highest population index are concentrated. “We are concerned that Fasnia is the only municipality on the Island without adequate sanitation for all buildings for citizen use,” he explains.
CC also asks to connect the sanitation network of the midlands with the coastal treatment plant
The Mayor’s Office justifies the rejection of the urgency of this initiative with the argument that the destination of the financing of the Municipal Cooperation Plan 2022-2025 It is already determined, something that, the alderman assures, CC is aware of as it is a matter previously raised by its councilor Germán García. “Pedro Hernández has not appeared in plenary for three years and was unaware that the matter was being processed,” he adds. Luis Javier González recalls that, in addition, “this area has no obligation to clean up its waters because it does not reach the minimum required population.”
CC’s proposal takes into account the record of “numerous problems with the supply of drinking water, accentuating in recent months the obstructions in the network.” To correct such circumstance, it demands the purchase of the precise equipment for the control and analysis of the water as well as to guarantee the quality of the supply and irrigation water. The mayor insists that CC can present the proposal “by ordinary means” for debate “without any problem.”
