Tacoronte Rejects Desalination Plant; Site Restoration Begins

Yesterday, Teidagua, the company managing Tacoronte's water supply, removed a truck from Mesa del Mar. The truck had been drilling test holes to see if a desalination plant could be built there. This action followed a decision by the Tacoronte City Council to reject the plant's construction on the Tacoronte coast. The City Council issued these instructions through the Local Police.

The local government announced yesterday that Teidagua will spend this week gradually removing all equipment from the planned desalination plant site. This is to fulfill the council's order to return the area to its original state.

To achieve this, restoration work will involve several civil engineering tasks to return the area to how it was before the work started. These tasks include sealing the drilled holes, clearing away debris, repaving the affected ground, and replacing any street furniture.

Teidagua has apologized to local residents for any disruption caused by the work. The company also thanked residents for their understanding and cooperation, explaining that the test drilling was done to "ensure the best possible water supply for the public."

Yesterday, the ruling party in the Tacoronte City Council, led by Sandra Izquierdo, highlighted the importance of these tasks. They stated that these actions "make good on what was agreed with the public, removing all equipment and materials from the coast and bringing things back to normal next to Mesa del Mar's natural pool."
