The Drought Monitoring Committee certifies that Benidorm will not have drinking water supply problems this summer

The City Council demands before the Hydrographic Confederation the dredging of the Guadalest and Amadorio reservoirs

The Benidorm Drought Monitoring Committee held its first meeting today after the plenary approval of the creation of this body. In it, after the act of constitution and acceptance of the positions of the designated persons, it has been certified that it will not be necessary to adopt any measure provided for in the Emergency Plan due to the current alert scenario.

The Councilor for the Water Cycle, José Ramón González de Zárate, has once again sent “a message of tranquility” to citizens “because there will not be any problem with the supply of drinking water and, therefore, no additional measures are contemplated.” ”. González de Zárate has stated that the supply in high season “is absolutely assured” and that any subsequent measure would only be taken “when we have some indication from the Water Consortium in that regard.”

What has been advanced in the meeting is the start of an awareness campaign by Hidraqua, “which will be reflected in the receipts for the water that reaches all citizens.” Furthermore, the councilor has stressed that the concessionaire company is working on some water wells located in Polop de la Marina to find out the capacity they have and their possible use. “They are wells owned by the City Council that have not been used for almost 50 years. "Surveys are going to be carried out to determine its capacity and to know if that water can be used," detailed the councillor, who recalled that the rest of the wells that Benidorm had - those in Beniardá - were transferred to the Water Consortium.

On the other hand, González de Zárate has once again launched a request to the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation and the Government of the nation “to make a special effort and carry out works in the Guadalest and Amadorio reservoirs so as not to have to waste water and to carry out dredging actions in the two reservoirs to increase their capacity.” “We must take advantage of these moments of low capacity to make these investments,” the councilor added.

Today's meeting also addressed the possibility that private communities can use reused water for their irrigation "in the same way as is done with street washing or irrigation of public parks and gardens." In this sense, González de Zárate explained that "a large investment has been made in being able to use water with less salinity for irrigation and Hidraqua is working on actions aimed at allowing communities to use that water." Meanwhile at the City Council, the councilor continued, "we are working on the rate to be applied to this reused water, which would be cheaper for users and, therefore, would also represent great savings."
