In Estepona we continue to advance on infrastructure that often goes unseen but is essential for the safety of our town.

Construction is now under way on a new storm tank on Avenida San Lorenzo, at its junction with Calle Real, a project aimed at strengthening the capacity of the stormwater network and reducing the risk of flooding during torrential rain.

The infrastructure will have capacity to temporarily store 825 m³ of water, preventing overloads in the sewer network and complementing the current drainage system.

The project involves an investment of close to €950,000, financed from the local improvement levy, and is being carried out by Hidralia.

The project also includes pumping systems, new pipes and overflow channels, as well as a generator to guarantee the installation operates in the event of a power cut.

This project adds to the investments made in recent years to renew and improve Estepona’s water infrastructure. According to municipal data, more than €20 million has been allocated over the last decade to improving the sewerage, water supply and stormwater networks.
