The City Council of Ronda, together with Aqualia, has intensified cleaning and maintenance efforts on storm drains and manholes in the city in anticipation of heavy rain and wind.

The municipal delegate for Public Works, Concha Muñoz, and the manager of Aqualia in Ronda, José Alberto García, reported on the ongoing actions to improve the conservation and cleaning of urban manholes. The councilor emphasized the need to maintain water evacuation systems, especially given episodes of heavy rainfall and the risk of wind blocking drains with fallen leaves.
Muñoz recalled that, facing alerts for intense rainfall in a short period, "no municipality's network can withstand this situation." Special attention is being paid to sensitive areas such as Virgen de la Paz street, although cleaning efforts have been underway for months. Furthermore, in response to the predicted rainfall and wind alerts for tomorrow, the city's public parks will remain closed.
For his part, the Aqualia manager in Ronda explained that preventive work is being carried out in conflict-prone areas, reinforcing cleaning to ensure the proper functioning of the network and water collection. He reminded that overflow outlets exist for flows exceeding the network's capacity. Since the beginning of the year, 2,000 storm drains, 6,000 manholes and wells, and over 50 kilometers of piping have been cleaned, involving approximately 150 preventive actions.
