Water, WiFi and sewerage. Zurgena

This is the lengths I have to go to get some time to ask questions.

Today, as I have been busy, earlier this week and am away tomorrow, I thought I had better get some answers to some questions. I called into the TH but Candido was with a man from the Diputacion at the contract near the pool bar, could we meet him there. So Andreas and I went there and saw the work that needed to be done and met with Candido but he was busy discussing the work. He then said he needed to go to another contract and would be 10 minutes would we wait in the pool bar. Which we agreed to do. Then 25 minutes later he had had a call to say that the phone company man was in the TH. So could we meet him there. Which we agreed to. Drove there only to discover that the work would take some time and Candido needed to get his laptop from home. So in order to ask the questions Andreas and I drove him home and back to the TH. During this journey I got some answers!!

Firstly the question regarding the quality of the water as had been referred to me by some concerned people. It transpires that today the TH received a letter from the Junta who regularly test the quality of the water supply and they had identified that the quality was not as high as it should be and was below the level they recommend for drinking or cooking with. They said they had no real concerns but, as most people do anyway, if you are using the tap water for anything other then washing etc then it should be filtered or you should use bottled water. Galasa are working on getting the quality back to the acceptable level as soon as they can and a meeting of Mayors is taking place today to apply pressure for this to be sorted asap. Will try and get more in depth info next Monday.

The problem with the WiFi across the area is due to the telephone company changes. We recently changed our telephony from Telefonica to Vodaphone and there has been a hiccup in the routers which needed to be replaced due to this change. That is what the man is doing in the TH with Candido now. So hopefully the system will  be back running again soon.

The sewerage problem  at Cuesta de los Pinos is awaiting a survey by Galasa to see how much repair work can be carried out by its pipe drilling machine. I again stressed the importance of getting it sorted.

I then asked about the court cases which should have been heard 2nd,3rd and 4th June and the other one today. Candido said it was the continuing usual craziness as they had now been adjourned one to a date to be fixed and the other to be lumped in with Operation Costurero. It just gets dafter.
