El Town hall of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell is working on a crash plan that guarantees a definitive and long-term solution both for the deficit of public lighting in the urbanizations after the numerous thefts of wiring, as well as for the high cost in maintenance and repair due to the age of facilities. To this end, an audit began a few months ago in order to detect general deficiencies and apply the necessary improvements.
Weeks of intensive inspections by an expert engineer have resulted in a report detailing all faults and defects. In the event of a lack of lighting in the top del Sol due to the theft of wiring, this document has helped to detect all the affected light boxes and quantify the investment for a comprehensive repair.
Areas to act
The report indicates that it will be necessary to allocate about 150.000 euros, between the purchase of the wiring, the necessary material for the closing and reinforcement of the boxes and the workforce. The areas to act range from the Moraig Creek to the upper parking lot; from the upper parking lot to the intersection with the central road; from the central road and access to the campsite to Camelias; various areas of Lilies; the streets of union between Lilies and Dalias; various streets of Dalias; the part of access to Pueblo Panorama from Lilies and the school; the Iris zone and the street of the Civil Protection building and the entire Jazmin area.
Due to the high cost of replacing the public lighting system, the expert has not only evaluated the areas of necessary action and the total cost, but has also studied other aspects relevant to the session, such as dissuasive measures in order to avoid further theft
In the long-term planning work line, the audit aims to review the entire municipal electrical network and installation to achieve better performance and operation. “The expenditure fired in maintenance and repairs makes us suspect that the electrical installations we have are not the most appropriate, and that is why we have made the decision to carry out an audit that sheds a little more light on this matter ", said the mayor, Miguel Ángel García, who stressed that it will be the first in the history of the City Council of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell.
“We don't want to close holes and put patches. That solution does not work in the long run. That is why we have stopped to make a serious diagnosis first to assess the possibilities and, finally, make the necessary decisions to carry out the relevant actions ”, the Councilor for Housing Development, Mayte Roldán.
Congratulations to the Poble Nou City Council. I am next door neighbor of Villes del Vent and we have been without electricity for months
Let's see if Javea does the same
Congratulations on the report, hopefully we can count on light since we are without it since the summer. For when do you get to work ??????
