The Island Water Council of the Cabildo de Tenerife is working on drafting a project to build a desalination plant in the Güímar Industrial Estate, which will have a capacity of 14,000 cubic meters of production, with the possibility of reaching 21,000 cubic meters.
“The drafting of this project began last summer and will be completed in the first quarter of 2023”, the Minister for Sustainable Development and the Fight Against Climate Change, Javier Rodríguez, said in a statement, adding that “we are taking another step to release the water stress in the region, where other measures have already been implemented, such as the urban water treatment plant and that of the industrial estate itself, to solve a chaotic situation in terms of water treatment throughout the area”.
The drafting of this project has a cost that will exceed 200,000 euros and it will include the drive to the headwater tank (at an elevation of 175 meters) as well as the headwater tank itself, which is being executed for the first phase and which It will be able to accommodate 7,000 cubic meters.
The installation of this infrastructure will make it possible to supply water at a good price and of good quality as is already produced in other places on the island such as Granadilla.
