The Formentera Council's infrastructure department conferred drafting of a drainage project at Es Ca Marí that would involve a network of drainage pipes and connections to individual households plus pumps linking properties with the Abaqua station. The €12,000 project was awarded to Gradual Ingenieros.
Abaqua, too, are now preparing a project involving waste water removal on Es Ca Marí's secondary network (or xarxa en alta—as opposed to “primary”, en baixa), and a study is in the works that could see creation of a pump station to accommodate the primary grid, which is administered by the local government. Es Ca Marí, zoned for some two thousand units of tourist-use lodgings, is classed as urban land under island regulations.
As Infrastructure secretary Rafael González observed, “this is a tourist area which has needed sanitation for some time”. González said his department awarded the project as soon as Abaqua assured them the island's treatment plant could handle connection with Es Ca Marí.
Once the first draft is complete, the Council will call a meeting with area residents to share details and encourage comments.
