Aguas de las Cuencas de España (Acuaes), the nation’s state-owned water company, is boosting its sizeable investment in the sanitation networks of Tenerife to a total of 233 million Euros to decrease polluting discharges into the sea and enhance wastewater treatment.
The monitoring committee for the sanitation and purification works conducted by Acuaes on the island agreed on Wednesday to update a deal with Tenerife’s Council, which has seen incremental growth due to various factors – price adjustments, new project needs…– after it was initially signed in July 2020. At that time, the investment was projected at 170 million Euros, 63 million less than the approved amount this Wednesday.
During a meeting held at the headquarters of the Tenerife Island Water Council, a division of the Council, the president of Aguas de España, María Rosa Cobo, briefed the Minister of Natural Environment, Blanca Pérez, the manager of the Tenerife Island Water Council, Javier Davara, and the island’s Finance Director, Juan Carlos Pérez Frías, that the works on the island have reached 90 per cent completion in the Western systems (Guía de Isora and Santiago del Teide), Granadilla de Abona, and Valle de La Orotava, as confirmed during a visit to the wastewater treatment plants in the West of Guía de Isora and Los Letrados in San Isidro (Granadilla) on April 23.
