Residents in this area, with 80 affected homes, suffer leaks and floods every irrigation cycle, causing cracks and structural damage that could endanger building foundations. Despite the City Council having waterproofed the channeled acequia in December, flooding episodes continue to recur, causing alarm among residents.

The works carried out by the council, described by residents as a mere "patch," cost 6,152 euros, but three days after their completion, floods returned, requiring intervention from firefighters and local police. Residents lament that the "partial interventions" have been ineffective and worsen structural risk and public safety, insisting on "exclusively municipal responsibility" for the infrastructure's deterioration.

Given the City Council's response, attributing the damage to inadequate waterproofing of private buildings, residents have requested the Generalitat Valenciana to apply Article 60 of the Law Regulating the Bases of Local Regimes. This law allows the autonomous community to require the local entity to fulfill its obligations and, if non-compliance persists, to carry out the necessary measures at its expense.

Resident representatives met with Agustina Esteve, the Consell delegate in Alicante, to present the situation as a matter of public relevance. They warned that no building is designed to withstand thousands of liters of pressurized water from a nearby acequia, and that responsibility for potential structural damage or loss of life will fall on both the City Council and the Generalitat for their inaction.

Furthermore, residents have requested the complete redevelopment project for Calle Temístocles Almagro, documentation they deem "essential" for potential claims of patrimonial responsibility. The council, for its part, cites a "large volume of requests" that makes it difficult to attend to all documentation requests, some of which require searching for information dating back to 1999.
