The Plenary Session of the Provincial Council of Córdoba has approved the provisional project for two hydraulic interventions with a budget close to two million euros. These works aim to improve water supply services in the southern area and the renewal of pipelines in the northern area of the province.
Specifically, the improvement and adaptation of the Fuente Alhama intake has been approved, with an investment of 1,025,000 euros. This action will renew an old pipeline supplying the municipalities of Baena, Doña Mencía, Espejo, Luque, Nueva Carteya, and Zuheros, as well as Albendín and the Luque station, reducing breakdowns and water losses.
Likewise, approval has been given for the renewal of supply pipelines in the northern area, with an initial phase of 450,000 euros, which will improve the conduits to Fuente La Lancha and Santa Eufemia, replacing old sections prone to breaks.
The Plenary Session also approved an agreement with the Ayuntamiento de Bujalance for Emproacsa to carry out repairs to the municipal sanitation network in Ancha de Palomino and Poeta García Lorca streets, a project costing 310,000 euros, affected by the storm.
In other matters, an agreement was approved with the municipalities of Cabra, Castro del Río, and Montilla to improve the paving of the Camino del Término, with a provincial contribution of 25,000 euros, facilitating communication between these municipalities and access to agricultural holdings.
For her part, the delegate for Social Rights, Irene Aguilera, reported the incorporation of 430,000 euros to the call for grants for the acquisition of technical and functional material means to improve the autonomy and quality of life of people with dependency, including individuals with oncological diagnoses. This aid line now totals 630,000 euros and has received 513 applications, more than 30 from cancer patients.
These grants will cover home adaptations (articulated beds, riser-recliners), feeding (adapted tableware), and personal hygiene (shower chairs, grab bars), as well as communication devices and oncological hair prostheses.
