The Orihuela Council has awarded a contract to Cesyr Estudios y Construcción for a new drinking water reservoir on the Costa, valued at €1,874,398. This project aims to bolster existing water supplies and accommodate future development. The contract is €470,000 lower than the tender budget, and includes enhancements such as roof waterproofing and an extended 24-month warranty.
The reservoir, to be constructed near the existing facility in El Canal, Los Dolses, will double storage capacity to 12,000 cubic metres, providing a 10-hour water reserve from the Peña de las Águilas intake. This new reservoir marks the first phase of Orihuela Costa’s drinking water supply master plan, updated in 2023. Plans for a second phase, including an additional intake and network upgrades, are also underway, with an estimated investment of €15 million over four years.
