Drainage Problems and Activities and Events for Autumn

As those of you who live in the following areas are aware there are problems with the drainage systems in Calle Miguel Servet, Los Menchones and the area of Avenida Poetas, Los Llanos del Peral.

The problems are similar in that they both relate to excess waste and its disposal. Yesterday the Councillor for Public Works, the Town Hall foreman and I visited Los Menchones and investigated the reason why sewerage was overflowing from the main street drain. We discovered that unknown to the homeowners at least 3 had systems where any overflow is released into the street drainpipe which is not, as yet, connected to any other pipework. This leads to a build up in waste overflowing into the street. Each home which we could identify as having leakage into the street pipe has been informed (with the exception of 2 which were unoccupied) and they will have their systems cleaned and capped off so that no further leakage can occur. Once this is done the Town Hall will clean the street pipe.

In relation to the pozo which serves the area of Avenida Poetas I have received a number of emails, some quite terse I have to say, but from these emails I am assured that no-one in the area is backwashing their pools into the drain pipes. The Council do not understand what is happening but this Saturday they are going to investigate all the pipework to try and identify where the problem lies. It may, in the end, be that the ground in the area of the existing pozo is saturated and can take no more waste, in which case another one will need to be installed, but until we have investigated it we do not know for sure. The connection of the pipework for this area to the main pipe leading to the big dipuradora has been approved by the Diputacion and should be installed in the next 3 or 4 months. So once we have identified, as best we can, the cause of the problem we will know better which course of action to take. I hope this helps explain what we are trying to do and I do apologise if I caused any upset with the previous post relevant to this issue.
