On Thursday, the mayor, Mariola Guevara, together with the councilor for infrastructure, Antonio García, the councilor for Pedanías, Eva Sánchez, and the mayor, Paul John Stratford, have visited the works to improve the supply network that are being carried out in Gebas. These actions to renew the drinking water pipe are intended to provide a solution to all the problems that the residents living in Gebas have been dragging along and who come, especially in the summer, to enjoy this area.The works consist of the total renovation of the supply network, with a route of more than 2 kilometers, where a new ductile iron pipe with a diameter of 100 millimeters is being installed, as well as the connections to the homes.

"In addition, we have responded to another request from the neighbors and their pedneous, which is to place water intakes (hydrants) for the firefighters in case there is a problem in this district and solve it much faster," says García.The duration of these others is two months, so it is scheduled to end in late August, and their cost is around 250,000 euros.

They are part of the project of comprehensive remodeling of the drinking water and sanitation networks of the entire municipality, its districts and countryside areas, for which an investment of approximately 27 million euros is necessary."These works are very important to Gebas, because we always have problems with water, especially on weekends and in summer," says Stratford, who added that "with a good supply we will be able to attract more people to Gebas and their rural houses When you don't have water, you know how to appreciate it and we hope to put our jugs back on the shelf.

" The mayor explained that "we had these works planned a few months ago, but due to the circumstances that we all know they have been postponed and the time has come to carry them out." Guevara has shown the intention of the City Council to continue with the modernization of the networks, "we remain very committed to the rural world, to the districts and their neighbors, which also have a series of shortcomings and we have to cover each of their needs.

Today We demonstrate that we continue working on them, we have carried out more than five million executed for this purpose and we continue working to achieve the comprehensive replacement of the old pipes in the entire municipality of Alhama, which we know cause many problems for Alhameños, "he concluded.
