The town of Vale Telheiro, in the parish of S. Sebastião, in Loulé, will receive work over the next two years that will allow water and sewage to be brought to the population, an investment of 4 million euros from the municipality.
The consignment notice for the basic sanitation works was signed between the Municipality of Loulé and the contractor, Lusosicó-Construções, SA.
At the same time, sanitation works are underway in Cerro do Galo and Pereiras, both in the parish of Almancil, but, according to the Chamber, the case of Vale Telheiro is larger with the network extending 20 kilometers, which it will serve 200 homes, a total of 800 residents.

The intervention area is located in an area of scattered housing, with its own water reservoirs or catchments. This work will last two years and consists of extending the existing network supported by the construction of a new reservoir in the Poço Geraldo area, as well as an adduction pumping station, which guarantees the supply of quality drinking water to the populations residing in the area. area throughout the year.
