Tegueste Wastewater Treatment Project

Overview

The town hall of Tegueste has formally requested administrative approval to treat and discharge wastewater from a natural purification project in Los Collazos.

The request, submitted earlier this year to Tenerife’s Water Council, aims to:

  • Manage wastewater sustainably
  • Minimize environmental impact in the area

Project Details

  • The project involves an underground absorption well located at specific UTM coordinates, which will help filter and clean water naturally.
  • This initiative aligns with local efforts to:
    • Adopt eco-friendly wastewater solutions
    • Protect Tenerife’s water resources

Public Access and Community Involvement

  • Public access to the application is granted for one month.
  • Residents and interested parties can review the documentation at the Council’s offices.
  • This transparency period ensures community oversight and input before any approval is granted.

Benefits and Goals

The decision could bring benefits including improved sanitation and a boost to local environmental initiatives, which are increasingly vital as Tenerife balances tourism, urban growth, and ecosystem preservation.
