Valencian Government Sets Sept. 15 Deadline for Towns to Tap Vaersa for DANA Sewer Repairs

The move aims to bypass slow municipal tenders using emergency assignments funded by €417 million from the central government.

Overview

  • Regional officials sent a circular inviting roughly 90 municipalities to request Vaersa’s intervention by Sept. 15 after declaring the works an emergency.
  • Under an encargo de gestión, Vaersa can execute sewer and pipeline repairs directly or subcontract firms in a model comparable to Tragsa.
  • Conseller Vicente Martínez Mus said ministry subsidy decisions are due in September, but conventional procurement could still stall on‑the‑ground work.
  • Albal became the first municipality to confirm it will use Vaersa to accelerate sewer repairs and debris removal following last year’s flooding.
  • The Generalitat reports that 123 damaged wastewater treatment plants are practically finished, with Quart Benàger in its final contracting phase.
