The PP of Xàbia denounces the lack of investment in the sanitation network and tertiary system
The PP candidate for mayor of Xàbia, Rosa Cardona, accompanied by candidates from her team and the candidates for les Corts for Alicante, José Ramón González de Zárate and Javier Gutiérrez, denounced the lack of investment by the Generalitat in the cycle of water in the locality or in the tertiary purification system.
At the gates of the Xàbia treatment plant, the popular candidates expressed the need to act in the municipality with the "non-existent" tertiary phase, indicated Cardona, who added that the government team has not worked so that Xàbia has a sewage network or work has been done to recover the water. We throw liters and liters into the sea when it could be reused for irrigation or flushing."
Likewise, the popular candidate insisted that citizens pay an annual canon for sanitation but this does not return to Xàbia in the form of an improvement; "In 2022, 2,9 million euros were collected with this canon and it has not been reversed. In fact, the EPSAR (Public Entity for Wastewater Sanitation) has abandoned Xàbia and the example is with the Arenal beach outfall" . Cardona added that the problem "is no longer the distance at which the water is discharged from the beach, but the fact that residual water continues to be discharged without complete purification, due to not having the third phase of the treatment plant."
For his part, the candidate for Parliament, José Ramón González de Zárate, expressed his surprise at the large number of septic tanks that Xàbia has, "the pits must disappear, the houses must be connected to the sewerage system." In addition, González de Zarate pointed out that the PP is working "on a change in the Sanitation Law."
Proposal: waste filtration and retention system
The PP candidate for mayor of Xàbia transferred her proposal to implement a filtration and waste retention system, as well as extend the separative network for rainwater from wastewater, in order to avoid the problem of the appearance of wipes and other plastics, both in the river bed and on the coast.
A measure that consists of a plastic and waste containment system through retention baskets with nets that perform a "strainer effect that would prevent solids from reaching the river and reaching our coastline," said Cardona, who added that it is "a initiative that is working successfully in other municipalities" and that he regrets not having been able to transfer to the Study Commission on sanitation infrastructures, since "since the first one was convened in 2021, we have not been convened again nor have we been They have reported whether they have been working on it.”
