San Fulgencio has launched a tender for the first phase of a project aimed at reusing regenerated water from the San Fulgencio Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for irrigation, increasing the availability and efficiency of water resources. The aim of the contract is to develop this initial phase of the project.
The project involves defining the work necessary to connect the existing regenerated water pipeline and install new sections of pipeline for the irrigation of green areas in the La Marina urbanization, in San Fulgencio.
The municipality aims to reuse 451,453 cubic meters of the over 830,000 cubic meters of water regenerated at the WWTP.
The Segura River Basin Authority (CHS) previously funded works in 2008 to utilize regenerated wastewater, which included a transformer and an independent electrical connection to the WWTP.
The current work will involve the construction of a new pipeline for the reuse of treated water to irrigate parks and gardens. This will connect to the existing pumping pipeline that starts at the San Fulgencio WWTP and currently ends at a chamber with a valve near the existing high-tension tower on Calle Jazmín in the La Marina urbanization.
This first phase will install a 200mm diameter PEAD (High-Density Polyethylene) pipeline, PE 100, SDR 11 (16 atmospheres), welded together, running from Calle Jazmín to the connection with Calle Charles de Gaulle, and continuing along Calle Rosales, where it will rise along the right side of the street.
Once the contract is awarded, the project is expected to be completed within six months.
