The excavators were engaged on a piece-rate basis on Punta de Anaga Street, situated in Los Alisios del Suroeste of the capital, with the intention of progressing the “substantial project” of rainwater collection currently underway in this locality. This initiative has secured an investment of 2.1 million euros, entirely financed by the Tenerife Cabildo, and is anticipated to be finalised in two years, facilitating the elimination of one of the significant areas of concern in Santa Cruz regarding the risk of flooding from potential rainwater streams.

The mayor of the capital, José Manuel Bermúdez (CC), along with the island president, Rosa Dávila (CC), visited the location yesterday, accompanied by the Councilor for Works and the district, Javier Rivero, and the island advisor for the Natural Environment, Blanca Pérez. The councillor emphasised that “this project will provide a crucial solution to mitigate flooding in Los Alisios 1, Santa María del Mar, and even along the Southern Highway and at the entrance to Añaza, as all the rainwater will be directed towards the ravines via collectors.”

Bermúdez reminded that “since 2014, in collaboration with the Cabildo, we have channelled nearly 20 million euros into rainwater collection systems, aimed at directing water to ravines to avoid flooding. The initiative being undertaken in this section of the Southwest is a testament to our ongoing commitment to invest in essential projects for the safety of residents.”

On her part, Rosa Dávila highlighted that “this project is among the most significant currently in progress and will avert future risks for the community. While funded by the Cabildo, it is a response to the planning executed by the city council through the runoff strategy, facilitating the collection of all rainwater recorded in this area to prevent further complications during heavy rainfall.”

The initiative involves the installation of a storm interceptor collector along the stretch of Punta de Anaga Street, between Simún Street and its lowest point, where the water will discharge into the Barranco Grande channel. Additionally, components necessary for intercepting runoff will be fitted, alongside the secondary transport network for connection with the interceptor collector.

This project, one of the most extensive executed to date in terms of both scale and financial investment, is centred on installing collectors of various sizes that will traverse the ground to capture water flowing through Los Alisios 2, between Punta de Anaga and the main southern highway, acting as a protective screen against floods originating from Los Alisios 1 and Santa María del Mar.
