These projects, already drafted and in the bidding and awarding phase, are awaiting authorization from the Ministry for Ecological Transition to commence work. The interventions are part of a broader roadmap to strengthen the water network and prevent future problems during adverse weather events, following the recovery of dozens of treatment plants affected by the storm.

In Alginet, the actions will focus on the renovation of collectors in Ronda Higinio Noja and the installation of new valves and pipelines, with an investment close to 450,000 euros. A similar amount will be allocated to Benifaió, where the main damages were located around the Pozo Concepción.

Cheste will also undertake significant improvements to its hydraulic network. After intervening in road infrastructures, the next step will be the renovation of the pumping station in the Castilla industrial estate and actions at various points such as the road to Vilamarxant or the CV-378. Additionally, work on other pumping stations and collectors will involve an investment of approximately 300,000 euros, plus an additional 240,000 euros for the municipal treatment plant.

The most notable case is Pedralba, where the damage will require an investment exceeding one million euros. The works include the replacement of equipment at Pozo Serratilla, improvements to urban area pipelines, renovation of pipes in scattered areas, and actions on collectors, storm drains, and connections. These interventions are complemented by significant repairs to the treatment plant, valued at around 600,000 euros.

The administrative process to access state aid, framed within Royal Decree 7/2024, has dictated the timelines for these actions. Once awarded, most of the works will have an execution period of less than six months.
