The Consell has held a meeting with residents of the old quarter of Xàtiva, where it has committed to promoting a comprehensive revitalization plan until 2035. This project will address historical problems in the area, including improvements in housing, support for local commerce, renovation of the drinking water supply, and a new mobility strategy. For residents, this translates into concrete actions such as replacing the old fibrocement pipes.
Network renovation and funding for the historic neighborhood 🏘️
The plan includes the comprehensive renovation of the drinking water networks, eliminating fibrocement pipes, an obsolete material that causes leaks and quality problems. The administration has committed to seeking the necessary funding channels starting in 2027 to carry out these works. Additionally, mobility will be addressed with new access points and the revitalization of local commerce. The goal is to equip the old quarter with modern and sustainable infrastructure that solves its daily shortcomings.
Residents cross their fingers that the plan doesn't arrive in 2036 🤞
After the meeting, residents breathed a sigh of relief knowing that their problems have a solution... in about a decade. Of course, if the fibrocement pipes hold out until 2027 without bursting, it will be smooth sailing. In the meantime, it's time to stock up on water jugs and patience, because political promises, like good wine, need time to mature. Or so they say.
