San Javier has launched a €1.87 million project to address the town's vulnerability to flooding during heavy rain. The scheme involves constructing a floodable park on the site of an existing car park within the Cobatillas Ravine. The park will store and manage runoff from the ravine, controlling its flow before channeling it to the wastewater treatment plant.
When not in use for flood management, the park will serve as a public recreational area featuring landscaping, green space, and visitor facilities. Interested companies have until October 29 to submit bids, with price accounting for 80% of the scoring criteria and five possible improvements making up the remaining 20%. Previous flooding episodes have caused significant property damage and posed a risk to residents.
