València Unveils 55-Measure Agenda With €120 Million Plan to Secure Emergency Water Supply

The package answers last autumn’s DANA flooding with a multi-year resilience push.

Overview

  • The €120 million Plan de Infraestructuras Críticas 2026–2031 seeks emergency self-sufficiency in drinking water through four new municipal wells, four in-city potabilization plants, high-capacity generators for treatment facilities and upgrades to key pipelines and low-pressure networks.
  • Early-warning and continuity measures feature new surveillance cameras along the Turia, a sonic alert project for La Torre, satellite phones and hybrid radios for essential services, plus design work for storm tanks in Nazaret and Grao.
  • Public-safety capacity will grow with 144 firefighter positions, 50 Local Police positions, 108 additional neighborhood officers, 80 more USAP agents, a new micromobility unit and nine new fire vehicles.
  • Social measures include free home-care for users, a rise in the baby grant to €400, the hiring of 70 social workers with 53 additional posts called, and the opening of new municipal social-service centers in Benicalap and Ruzafa.
  • Housing actions launch a municipal Rental Agency, allocate 41 homes in Quatre Carreres and begin construction of a 90-unit protected housing building in the district, alongside the continuation of local tax reductions and targeted incentives.
