SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, June 13 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cabildo de Tenerife acts as an emergency from this Monday to repair the Tágara-Trevejos water transport pipeline, located in the municipality of Guía de Isora.
The acting Island Councilor for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Javier Parrilla, explains in a note that “the emergency of the works has been declared due to the importance of this pipeline for the municipality of Vilaflor and part of Adeje, Arona and San Miguel “, and anticipates that “according to the report issued by the technical services, it is expected that the repair work will be completed in fifteen days, given the difficulty of accessing the area.”
The island manager points out, however, that “the Trevejos pond is at 75% capacity, with 207,538 cubic meters, so there is peace of mind and guarantee of supply for irrigation water.”
On the afternoon of June 7, a significant decrease in the flow that reaches Boca Cascajo (end of the pipeline) was observed and an analysis began to determine the possible causes.
Thus, the following morning a break in an 8-meter-long section of pipe was found, some 500 meters from the southeast entrance of the Tágara tunnel, probably caused by the impact of some rock detached from the slope as a result of the rains that occurred in the previous days.
