Good news for Gandia residents, as almost €500,000 is being invested in a major upgrade to the local drinking water network. The municipal project, approved by the Gandia City Council, aims to address leaks, pressure problems, and interruptions to water supply in the Marxuquera area. The aging infrastructure and the region's topography have contributed to these persistent issues over recent years.
The project will focus primarily on sections of the water network that have shown the most deterioration, including the urbanizations of Montesol, Xauxa, and Molló 3. Work is expected to commence following the Fira i Festes celebrations, with the goal of providing residents with a more stable, efficient, and secure water supply.
Key elements of the upgrade include replacing older pipes, repairing existing leaks, and improving water pressure across the network. Technical studies were conducted to analyze the network's behavior during periods of high demand, using mathematical modeling, specialist software, and demand forecasting systems. These efforts helped identify improvements to the pumping system, ensuring water reaches homes more effectively.
Gandia Mayor José Manuel Prieto emphasized the collaborative efforts between residents, municipal technicians, and the city's water company in identifying the causes of the problems and developing a technical solution. Importantly, the investment will be entirely funded by the Gandia City Council, ensuring no additional costs or bill increases for Marxuquera residents.
This project is part of a broader €11 million investment program in Gandia's water infrastructure, covering modernization of drinking water and drainage systems. Other planned projects include a new water tank in Gandia beach, early-warning systems for flooding, upgrading the Enginyer Navarro Reverter water tank, and waterproofing collectors in the Kentucky area. Additional studies and works are also planned to reduce flood risks in areas such as Marenys de Rafalcaid.
These improvements are built upon over €40 million invested in Gandia's drinking water infrastructure over the past two decades.
