Four population centers of La Laguna will benefit from sanitation works worth 2.8 million euros. This was announced yesterday by the City Council and the Cabildo de Tenerife after the award, by the insular institution, of the contract for the drafting of the project and management of the works to improve and expand the sanitation network. The company Magma Ingeniería will be in charge of drafting the project, for which it will have a period of six months.
The works are included in the Municipal Cooperation Plan 2018-2021. The insular Councilor for Municipal Cooperation and Housing, Zebenzuí Chinea, indicates that the next step will be the bidding for the execution of the works, for the development of which this item of 2,877,600 euros has been foreseen, to be financed 50% between the Cabildo and the City hall.
In the Geneto neighborhood, work will be carried out to improve the sanitation network of Los Pollitos, Codorniz and Piconera streets, which in the municipal street map is called La Perdiz. In Guajara, the first phase of the project will be carried out to carry out a separative network for wastewater and rainwater in the northern part of this urban nucleus, “which every day I need to modify the existing layout, for which the sanitation network will be expanded and the roads that still lack them will be provided with a rainwater network,” said Chinea.
The first phase of the works will also be carried out to relocate the drainage collector of the Santos ravine in the sections between Idaira street and the Tabares road. The insular person in charge clarified that this intervention will allow correcting the deterioration and insufficient dimensioning of the collector that runs through the Santos ravine and the aforementioned road network.
In addition, work will be done in Tejina, in the Milan area, which does not have a sanitation network, so that the water will be pumped through a pumping station to the general collector located in Cercado Grande. From there they will rise to the general collector, which will drain into the pumping station on La Majada road. The action will include the sanitation network.
The mayor of La Laguna, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez, appreciated “the close collaboration between administrations to urgently and effectively attend to the needs that exist in different parts of the municipality in terms of sanitation.” And he added: “We have a commitment to the maintenance and improvement of public services, so that we prioritize those actions that require a more immediate intervention, in addition to attending to the demands of our neighbors.”
