🌼 GOOD NEWS: THE SMELL AT PLAYA DE MOGÁN WILL FINALLY BE SORTED

Good afternoon everyone 🌺

Many of you have mentioned the unpleasant smell near the beach, so I wanted to share some genuinely good news as soon as it was confirmed.

⛱️ THE PUMPING STATION IS BEING MOVED

The Canary Islands Directorate General for Coasts has officially authorised the relocation of the wastewater pumping station by the beach and blue bridge , away from the beach.

This followed a working visit to Mogán by the regional Directors General for Coasts and Water, hosted by Mayor Onalia Bueno.

Antonio Acosta, Director General for Coasts and Management of the Canary Islands Maritime Area, said the relocation should:

👉 Improve maintenance of the facility

👉 Reduce unpleasant odours

👉 Free up better use of the public coastal area

No date has yet been given for when the physical move will take place, but the approval itself is the key step, and I will let you know as soon as there is a confirmed timeline.

💧 A BIGGER UPGRADE BEHIND THE SCENES

The same visit also reviewed progress on the Playa de Mogán Wastewater Treatment Plant, where €2.5 million is being invested to introduce tertiary water treatment.

Once complete, the treated water will be reused for:

👉 Agricultural irrigation

👉 Public gardens and green areas

👉 Street cleaning

🗣️ WHAT ELSE WAS DISCUSSED

Mayor Onalia Bueno also highlighted progress on a few other projects worth knowing about:

👉 Approval of the new seasonal beach services

👉 Phase three of the Marañuelas–Anfi promenade

👉 Regulation of terraces along the coastline

She thanked the regional government for helping to unblock several projects that had previously been delayed.

It is good to see this addressed directly rather than ignored, and I know many of you will be relieved to hear it. I will keep you updated as soon as there is more news on timing.
