Published on May 26, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Puertollano City Council has begun renovating the water supply network on Valencia Street. The goal is to replace old pipes, prone to breakdowns, with more durable materials. This action aims to guarantee a stable supply and reduce inconveniences for residents due to unexpected cuts or leaks.

Ductile iron pipes for a more reliable network 🔧

The old asbestos cement pipe will be replaced by ductile iron pipes, a material that offers high resistance to pressure and corrosion. The installation includes new shut-off valves and household connections. This intervention is part of a municipal plan to modernize obsolete water infrastructures, prioritizing areas with the highest history of breaks and flow losses.

Goodbye to surprise morning showers 🚿

Residents of Valencia Street can say goodbye to that morning thrill of turning on the tap and getting a trickle or nothing at all. The classic chats in the doorway about the latest puddle on the sidewalk will also be retired. Of course, while the work lasts, you'll have to arm yourself with patience with the noise of the jackhammers, which are like a free alarm clock for the whole neighborhood.
