Some 800 houses in Dénia will have to connect to the sewage system to avoid leaks
The Departments of Ecological Transition and Sewerage Development in the areas of Les Rotes-Montgó contacted homes that are not connected to the sewerage network to regularize their situation. According to data from the councils, the connection of 91 homes to the public sewerage system has been achieved and work has begun on another 433. In total, the homes that required connection add up to 764, and are located 38 blocks from the city, especially in the area of Montgó, La Pedrera and Les Rotes. Although it also includes downtown houses located on streets such as Marqués de Campos, Patricio Ferrándiz, Paseo del Saladar, Ramón Ortega, Salt or Temple Sant Telm, as well as urbanizations located on the Les Marines road.
In the words of the Councilor for Ecological Transition, Maite Pérez Conejero, this action aims to reduce the amount of discharges filtered into the subsoil, an issue that is harmful to the environment and the natural ecosystem. According to the councillor, septic tanks end up losing impermeability, which causes substances to come into contact with the ground, appearing in natural spaces such as Les Rotes or Montgó. Pérez points out the need to treat wastewater, something that does not happen with foundries.
