The interventions, part of the Collaboration Agreement between the General State Administration, the Mancomunidad de Municipios del Campo de Gibraltar, and the San Martín del Tesorillo City Council for investment financing for the 2024 fiscal year, aim to enhance supply efficiency.
The main action, budgeted at 213,537.50 euros, involved installing a new pressure regulation system at the entrance of the north zone's reservoir. A 500-millimeter diameter by-pass was executed on the 800-millimeter general pipeline, incorporating pressure-maintaining/reducing valves and a slow-closing system for reservoir filling control, along with filters and auxiliary elements. The work included constructing a reinforced concrete chamber measuring 8.60x4.10 meters to house the electromechanical equipment.
The second intervention, costing 37,588.55 euros, connects the 800-millimeter general pipeline from the Arenillas Water Treatment Plant (ETAP) to the 200-millimeter pipe supplying San Martín del Tesorillo via a new 300-millimeter pipeline near the San Enrique reservoir. This connection allows the available pressure in the general pipeline to be used to deliver water to the municipality without breaking load at the reservoir, thus reducing the need for the associated pumping system and its energy consumption.
Complementarily, the agreement includes an investment in waste management through the acquisition of an open-box truck, awarded for 161,280 euros (VAT excluded), to provide additional material resources for municipal waste management services. These three investments are part of the Plan for the Campo de Gibraltar and aid regulated by Royal Decree 998/2024.
