What works will advance?

>>>>Elevator Station EE5 - to be built in Armação de Pêra, it will have an installed capacity of 350 liters per second, lifting both waste water from the EE6 Pumping Station (already built), and from the drainage network of Armação de Pêra and also from the places drained by the Outfall from Vale de Lousas and by the extension of collector DN630), to the EE4 pumping station (Final) and which in turn will endorse them for treatment at the Albufeira Poente WWTP.

>>>>Elevator Station EE7 - to be built inside the Amendoeiras Golf Resort Tourism Enterprise, it will have an installed capacity of 42 liters per second, ensuring the conduction of effluents from the Fontes da Matosa and Poço Frito Outfalls and from the aforementioned tourist enterprise.

Ada emphasizes the importance of this infrastructure for «allowing the operation of the “downhill” wastewater drainage network already built by the Municipality of Silves, which is currently already connected to the above-mentioned outfalls, thus increasing the number of inhabitants served. by wastewater drainage network'.

>>>>Elevator Station EE8 - to be built in Montes Raposos, it will have an installed capacity of 78 liters per second, ensuring the conduction of both the effluents from the EE7 Pumping Station and those currently flowing to the existing municipal pumping in Montes Raposos and also, in future terms, with the inactivation from the Algoz WWTP, the flows that flow into it today, as well as the effluents generated between Algoz and Montes Raposos (including Vale de Margem).

>>>>Elevator Station EE9 - to be built in Pêra, it will have an installed capacity, in a first phase of 45l/s and in a second phase of 95 liters per second, ensuring the conduction of wastewater generated in the respective area of ​​influence (places drained by the Alcantarilha outfall, by the collector coming from Alcantarilha, by the collector from Pêra (secondary), by the collector from Pêra (main) and by the collector affluent to the existing pumping station, to the EE4 (Final) pumping station, which will send them for treatment at the Albufeira Poente WWTP.
