Spain Confirms €417 Million for Valencian Water Repairs, Offers €30 Million for l’Albufera

The ministry set a one to two week timetable to formalize the grants, with l’Albufera funding contingent on a finalized regional plan.

Overview

  • The €417 million transfer to municipalities for supply, sanitation and treatment reflects a 20% increase over the initial estimate due to higher costs.
  • Officials expect to make the aid resolution definitive within one to two weeks and set a 48‑month limit to complete and justify the works, noting some projects are already underway.
  • A €30 million contribution is available for l’Albufera’s recovery, awaiting the Generalitat’s plan to define where the state’s intervention will apply.
  • Reconstruction of separate sewer networks will be covered by €1.745 billion from the Ministry of Territorial Policy, funding these works in full.
  • Valencian conseller Vicente Martínez Mus criticized limited interlocution and the brief bilateral meeting and pressed for faster channeling works and use of Vaersa’s expedited mechanism.
