Orihuela Awards Contract for Long-Awaited Costa Water Reservoir

Orihuela Council has awarded the contract to build a second drinking water reservoir on the coast to Cesyr Estudios y Construcción, a project intended to strengthen supplies for existing homes and support future development. The winning bid was €1,874,398, €470,000 below the tender budget. The reservoir, which will be built beside the existing facility in El Canal, Los Dolses, will double the site’s storage capacity to 12,000 cubic metres, increasing the reserve available through the Peña de las Águilas water intake from approximately five hours to ten.

This new reservoir is the first phase of Orihuela Costa’s drinking water supply master plan, updated in 2023, and is part of a larger second phase that includes proposals for another drinking water intake and associated infrastructure.
