Facsa presents to the City Council and the residents of Xilxes the works carried out in the area of ​​Calle Primero de Mayo to prevent flooding

The Xilxes Town Council has gathered the residents of Primero de Mayo Street to present the work carried out by Facsa With the aim of improving the area's flooding problems during periods of heavy rainfall, the city council has invested a total of €339.040,39, an amount financed through the hydraulic investment levy. Residents of the area were able to see the completed work through a demonstration of the new water pumping system.

The mayor of the municipality, José Martínez, attended the presentation accompanied by members of the City Council's governing body, municipal technical services, the Area Coordinator, and the JS representative. Facsawho have explained in detail to the residents of the road how the new pumping system works.

The improved design of the new wastewater treatment plant (EBAP) allows that, in the event of a collapse of the gravity-fed stormwater drainage system, the water will settle in a new reinforced concrete chamber housing three 15 kW submersible pumps. These pumps are capable of lifting a flow rate of 1.368 m³/ha at 6,6 m³/h through a DN 450 mm PN 10 manifold that terminates at the discharge point of the channeled ravine that crosses the UA-4 sector of Xilxes. In addition, it also has a 60 kVA generator that could supply electricity to the pumps in the event of a power outage.

At a technological level, it is worth highlighting the important automation component of the new pumping system, which can operate completely autonomously and is prepared for integration into FACSA's telecontrol system, thus allowing access to real-time data.

In short, with this action, the City Council is once again committed to the technology that the company applies to the intelligent management of the integrated water cycle - under the Waternology by Facsa brand - to improve the efficiency of the processes and the sustainability of Xilxes, aspects that impact the value of the service it offers to its residents.
