Rojales Town Hall has continued the modernisation of its water infrastructure with the second phase of drainage improvements in the Cuenca Sur urban area, around Plaza de los Suizos and Calle Galicia. The project forms part of the Vega Renhace plan.

The scheme has a total investment of 543,887 euros, including a direct grant of 450,000 euros from the Generalitat Valenciana. Five companies submitted bids, and the contract has been awarded to Contratas y Viales de Levante for 398,229 euros, below the initial tender price of 419,750 euros. The works are expected to last two months.

Following an earlier phase, this stage will focus on the final stretch of Calles Higueras and Algarrobos, as well as Avenida Las Naciones. A new separate sewer and stormwater network will be installed to improve water drainage during periods of intense rainfall. Road surfaces, kerbs and signage will also be renewed.

Mayor Antonio Pérez said the project addresses long-standing flooding problems in the area and strengthens the town’s resilience to climate change. The council says the investment reflects its commitment to sustainable urban planning and protecting the municipality from future flooding.
