The remodeling work of the Water Supply Network of Bairro da Cavalinha, in Olhão, was awarded last week. The intervention should start as early as the second quarter of 2016 and should be completed eight months later.
«The Cavalinha neighborhood has a water distribution network made up mostly of aged pipes, whose useful life period has been exceeded, which constitutes a strong constraint on the water supply to that area of the city, where there are frequent breaks, which force the interruption of the water supply. With this deep intervention, the water supply service will undergo a significant improvement in this area of the city, which is today the most fragile area of the supply system in the municipality of Olhão», framed the mayor of Olhão, António Miguel Pina.
The mayor and councilor of the municipality Carlos Martins represented the Board of Directors of the municipal company Ambiolhão, in the act of awarding the work to the company Joaquim Rodrigues da Silva e Filhos, which won the public tender that was launched. The work was awarded for the value of 210 thousand euros.
The project to be carried out consists of the complete replacement of the water distribution network of all streets in the neighborhood with new conduits, «consisting of adequate materials and dimensions, with an extension of 2,9 kilometers and benefiting a population of around 2700 inhabitants».
“The new distribution network will also guarantee the fight against fires, through the installation of fire marks. Watering and washing nozzles will also be installed, which will make it possible to water green areas and wash floors”, according to the Chamber of Olhão.
Once the work is completed, this district to the northeast of the old town, bordered to the north by the EN 125 and to the south by the railway line, «will be equipped with a modern water supply network, with conditions to meet the needs of a growing population'.
