marbella-water-reserve

Marbella Town Hall talk and talk, but nothing is happen, we all know that for a long time now and the latest news in this typical Spanish talking system is that it has gone 15 years since they starting talking about increased the water reservoir La Concepcion in Marbella. The story is follow, more than 15 years ago, when it was first suggested that the La Concepcion reservoir would need to be increased in size to cope with the fast growing population of the areas Marbella, San Pedro, Elviria and the other in Marbella community, ideas have been put forward to carry out the work. At that time could we already see how much was building and what was coming in the future, large Urbanizations with many apartments, villas and golf courses.

 

There have been endless announcements about projects to double its capacity, but none have come to anything. But, with the pressure on water supplies increasing every year, technical experts had put forward plans to re-enforce and raise the walls by 16 meters, a move which would require the reservoir to be only half full for many months, not a risk the authorities were prepared to take because of the possibility of interruptions to the water supply. Now it seems it may be possible to carry out the work without the risk to the water supplies by extending the walls further down the Rio Verde.

 

Water supplies for this year seem secure with the reservoir currently at 87 per cent capacity. Marbella Town Hall is saved by the bell this year; the economic crises in the world, less tourist, less golfers, ect.  The situation is further improved by the output from the new desalination plant which now has five lines in operation and is providing an additional 35,000 cubic meters of water each day, thereby reducing the drain from La Concepcion. The uptake from the golf courses has also decreased with the requirement that they use re-cycled water for their needs. The usual summer consumption is around 20 cubic hectometers, well below the reservoirs current capacity level of 53 cubic hectometers, so all should be well until the winter rains and maybe more water to us who has a property in Marbella.
