Project to renovate paving and various infrastructure services in Es Pujols

The project

The sewage network in the tourist area of Es Pujols is made from fibre cement and is more than 30 years old. It currently has a multitude of problems of leaks, blockages and permeability with rainwater. A large amount of the rainwater from the tourist area is also being sent for treatment.

For this reason and by means of this project, a whole series of works will be carried out to improve this network. The purpose is to replace the sewage network and implement a new independent network for rainwater.

Most of the pipes in the drinking water network are PVC, so they have a similar problem, with leaks and a lack of pressure in some sections. The project plans to replace these pipes with others in an approved material, increasing the network’s efficiency.

These measures will raise the quality of the water reaching the treatment plant, which, together with brining the irrigation pool into operation, will not only meet the objectives of the agreements reached in the Annual Sustainable Tourism Action Plan, they will also improve how waste water is treated, in environmental terms.

Aside from the measures indicated with regard to improving the sewage and drinking water networks, the project also intends to bring about a comprehensive improvement of the pedestrianised part of the tourist area in Es Pujols, including the following initiatives:

- Burying of remaining aerial telephone and electricity lines in the area.

- Current public lighting to be replaced by energy-saving LED lighting using power-efficient systems.

- Installation of a network of fire hydrants.

- New paving, street furniture and trees in pedestrian areas.
