This serious incident has affected an emblematic infrastructure of the municipality, generating great indignation among residents. The perpetrators of the vandalism reportedly destroyed the pipes, leaving the fountain non-functional.
The Altura City Council has called on citizens for help in identifying those responsible for this attack. Local authorities have warned that the cost of repair will be considerable for municipal coffers.
“"A thorough study will be necessary and it will possibly amount to thousands of euros."
Currently, there is no scheduled date for the recovery of the fountain, which requires complex and costly intervention. Residents have expressed their regret over the attack on a beloved space, which they consider part of the collective identity of the town.
Plaza de la Cueva Santa is a common meeting point, especially for older people, who go there to spend time and enjoy the sun. This circumstance increases the indignation over damages that affect one of the most significant places in Altura.
