The Consell Insular de Menorca and the Government of the Balearic Islands tackle strategic projects to boost the island’s water cycle

The meeting provided an opportunity to follow up on the main investments in the water cycle in Menorca, focusing on the agreement with the Balearic Government, which includes municipal projects related to this area. A follow-up was made on the sanitation improvement plan, which includes important actions at the Es Mercadal, Sant Lluís and Binidalí wastewater treatment plants, in addition to the project to expand the Ciutadella Sur wastewater treatment plant.

The progress of the water reuse projects was also reviewed and the status of the emergency works after the damage caused by last August’s DANA, which had a significant impact on the island’s hydraulic infrastructures, was reported on.

Another of the priority issues discussed was the Es Caragolí project, which aims to inject water into Ciutadella’s supply network and thus prevent overexploitation of the aquifers.
