The Department of Works and Services to the City is executing during these weeks works of revision and cleaning of scuppers that catch rainwater with the aim of avoiding the collapse of the sewer network in the urban area.The actions are being carried out in different areas of Totana, such as the Tirol neighborhoods, Camleri, El Parral urbanization and others, with which it is intended to optimize its channeling and the operation of the sewerage system, minimizing the chances of traffic jams in times of heavy rains.The municipal operators are taking advantage of these days in which the circulation of vehicles has been dramatically reduced due to the state of alarm to advance in carrying out these works.The personnel in charge of carrying out the work begin the process with the lifting of grids and the cleaning of the elements that interrupt the water outlet.
Next, the technicians extract the waste and check the correct operation of the different scuppers distributed throughout the urban area, where solid waste of a different nature accumulates.The councilor for the sector, Pedro José Sánchez, reported that “it is essential to remove the dirt that accumulates inside the scuppers, since it makes it difficult to collect water on rainy days.
With the cleaning tasks, we get the pipes to recover the correct hydraulic transport capacity ”.
