Communiqué: the City Council responds to the criticisms expressed about the quality of the Arenal's water

13 June 2022 - 23: 47

Given the criticism and actions carried out by Ecologistas en Acción and the latest declarations made by Compromís about the water quality of the Arenal Beach due to the breakage of the emissary, the Javea Town Hall has issued the following statement:

Competences on the coast are shared by several administrations.

In the case of water quality control, a general directorate is in charge - the Hydraulic Resources and Water Quality Planning Service - dependent on the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development, Climate Emergency and Ecological Transition.

EPSAR, a public sanitation entity that manages the damaged submarine outfall in Arenal, also reports to the Ministry of Agriculture.

Both autonomous organizations have been carrying out analyzes for weeks in the area of ​​​​the breakdown of the submarine outfall. The Xàbia City Council has also commissioned other complementary analyzes to carry out a more regular control of the quality of the water given the situation and the start of the bathing season.

They are analytical carried out according to the protocols and all are giving as a result that the water is suitable for bathing. The values ​​are not always the same but there is agreement and they have always been within the parameters that allow the bath.

From Ecologists in Action they have made public the result of another third sample, taken without any type of guarantee (it is not known where the water is collected from, the amount or if the chain of custody to the laboratory meets the requirements) that gives values very high, something that does not fit in any way with all the other samples taken.

For weeks this group has been alarming the population with biased information and totally subjective assessments.

Administrations must offer legal certainty to people and therefore, decisions are made based on official reports and not on opinions or assumptions.

To date, the Xàbia City Council does not have any communication from Water Quality about the need to close the Arenal to the bathroom. Nor any real and contrasted data to do it unilaterally.

We regret statements such as those made by Compromís Xàbia, questioning the control and monitoring that three public administrations are carrying out, as well as the official protocols that ensure everyone's safety.

Especially when the Ministry of Agriculture as well as the direction of water quality and the management of EPSAR are the responsibility of his party, Compromís. What's more, if you have any doubts about how this issue is being managed, we invite you to take an interest or complain directly to your colleagues.

    But how is it possible that at this point emissaries are still allowed in the sea, throwing untreated water?

  2. VICTOR says:

    I have been in the Arenal the week of June 6 to 12 and I fully endorse what Ecologists in Action declares about the quality of the water in the Arenal beach, in my opinion it is not suitable for swimming by far, and no day of those of us who were there thought about doing it, it has a turbidity at any point on the shore that is not natural at all, those who say it is suitable should go around there to see it and have the typical drink that small children inadvertently take when they bathe and check that, as they say, there is no risk, another very surprising issue is that despite the alarm that has been created by this situation, they continue without making the analyzes public.

    From April 26!!!!
    Incredible. You have to be useless.

  4. indignant says:

    Let us all pray to the Nazarene, so that Saint Ximo Puig, looks for something for him, by finger, of course. This has negatively surpassed Moragues and will now surpass the Phalangist Don José Cholbi in digital permanence. Seeing is believing.

    IUD the communication:
    "For weeks this group has been alarming the population with biased information and totally subjective assessments"

    NO, aixó is the one who feu vosaltres to the Town Hall at all hours biased information and subjective assessments

  6. IgnacioG says:

    But do they fix it or not? Enough of wasting time on useless accusations.

    • Neighbor with studies and business says:

      I do not think that the accusations are useless, keep in mind that thanks to them they move their asses, at least giving pathetic explanations of their TOTAL INOPERANCE.

      Hopefully Valencia gives him a little charge, whatever it is, and Chulvi disappears from Jávea.

      • IgnacioG says:

        You have not understood my comment. What does the City Council do in the face of the Arenal problem? Nothing and accuse those who denounce. That's why I say stop accusing and solve the problem now.

  7. María says:

    The arrogance and pride of a HIT in response to a beach full of shit.

    I didn't expect anything else.

    • Emilio says:

      It looks like a madel man 🤣🤣 the little jacket, Maria
      the jacket 🤣🤣🤣
      This one had never worn a jacket in his life

      • licensed hotelier says:

        They have no forgiveness from God...
        The terrible thing is that deep down, seriously, this has little grace.
        That all the businesses in Arenal live from TOURISM, EVERYONE! And the beach with its shit overflowing everywhere...
        Indecent that we endure this and kill the chicken, a shame.

        • IgnacioG says:

          Well, the tourist attraction of the beach has just been loaded. Although checking the level of filth and incivility that many tourists with and without dogs display on the beach, they still don't care about being covered in shit.

  8. Go Chulvi, Go… Denia says:

    Let's see, it looks like shit, it smells like shit, it comes from where the shit comes from... but it's Suchard nougat. Rejoice infidels, who serve it to you before Christmas, and roll in your own feces like any pig in his pigpen!

    Thank you, Chulvi, for this jewel that enhances your legacy! You did well when the shitty wipes exploded, when you left us without police, when it was the only town in a pandemic without restrictions leading to absolute chaos, when they began to cover everything with graffiti, when we had a fire for months in Ramblars, when it was repeated the biggest fire in history two years later and you didn't take a single measure to clean up forests, when you left us without the most emblematic places in Jávea… but hey, if no one protests, it's fair to send them to hell. In your case, sending the shit to the most touristy beach you've ever lifted a finger on and that this year will flood again, leaving many without a car and damaging their belongings.

  9. emilio echpare says:

    Good. And I ask myself : if the analyzes result in " normal " parameters ( and I have no reason to doubt these results ) , why do not they make them public ?
    I personally have been to the town hall today and everything has been evasive.
    Travel in vain.

  10. Loreto says:

    That is shit what comes out of the fault. SHIT . Fix it or go yaaaa!!!!

  11. Joan says:

    But what analysis or what analysis. Fix the incompetent fault. Go away Chulvi !!!!

  12. Montserrat says:

    Fix it useless. That we are bathing in shit!!!!!
