As Fuerteventura continues to attract investors, the recent initiatives to enhance the island’s water infrastructure highlight its commitment to sustainable development.
The Majorera Assembly-Canary Coalition (AM-CC) has lauded the approval by the Government Council of the Canary Islands for a credit transfer aimed at reinforcing hydraulic infrastructure across the Archipelago. This includes a pivotal upgrade to the sanitation works in El Cotillo, which has long been a priority for local residents.
This financial measure is part of a larger allocation of €4.42 million directed to the Ministry of Territorial Policy, Territorial Cohesion, and Water, overseen by Manuel Miranda. The aim is to improve water supply, sanitation, and hydraulic infrastructure throughout the islands.
AM-CC emphasizes that the El Cotillo sanitation project addresses a historical need for the community and asserts that this funding will significantly propel the much-anticipated initiative forward.
In recent developments, Fuerteventura has effectively addressed its water emergency situation declared in 2023, leading to a marked reduction in supply problems affecting various communities. AM-CC has noted that ongoing efforts in water management have been substantial during this legislative period.
The organization reaffirms its commitment to complete necessary actions associated with the comprehensive water cycle, which is viewed as one of the primary challenges for the island due to its unique geographical conditions.
Recent improvements in the island’s water management include the adoption of the hydrological planning framework for 2025, a €5 million investment in 2023 to modernize desalination plants, and enhancements to water distribution networks in key municipalities like Puerto del Rosario and Corralejo.
Looking ahead, additional investments are planned to strengthen water supply infrastructure. Key projects include awarding contracts for the Puerto del Rosario treatment plant, the La Mareta rolling depot, the sanitation works in El Cotillo, and the La Hondura pumping station.
Furthermore, the Government of the Canary Islands is collaborating with the Insular Water Council to draft a foundational project for a future desalination plant in southern Fuerteventura. This facility is deemed crucial for ensuring adequate water supply in the Jandía area.
AM-CC highlights the significance of coordinated efforts among the Government of the Canary Islands, the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, and various municipal administrations to advance priority projects for the island. They believe this collaboration has been instrumental in overcoming long-standing challenges and enhancing essential services for the local population.
In conclusion, AM-CC remains dedicated to promoting investments that modernize hydraulic infrastructure, ensuring a secure and sustainable water supply for the residents of Fuerteventura.
