The Cabildo de Tenerife will allocate more than 1.8 million euros to replace the pipe that drives the water from the Adeje-Arona desalination plant to the Arona tanks, according to reports from the Island Corporation.
In this way, the pipe suffered a breakdown this Friday afternoon and the teams of the Insular Water Council have been working overnight to restore it.
“This pipeline is causing problems again and the Cabildo and the CIATF have immediately set to work to repair the fault,” said the president, Pedro Martín.
In addition, he pointed out that “the island institution is already investing more than 1.8 million euros in the complete replacement of this infrastructure with the intention of solving a recurring circumstance, and whose work precisely began this week.”
For his part, the manager of the CIATF, Javier Davara, commented that “almost certainly the fault was caused by a stoppage of the plant due to a micro power outage of the electrical network, when the pipe was restarted it was subjected to to an excess of pressure that in the case of driving like the current one it is not capable of withstanding and broke through its most vulnerable points”.
For this purpose, the service road that runs parallel to the TF-5 that goes to the Siam Mall has had to be closed, with the Cabildo de Tenerife road service.
