According to the latest forecast, the second residual water processing plant (EDAR) currently being built in Torrox should be completed by the beginning of 2010 and operational by June.
The €17 million project, part of the Plan de Saneamiento Integral Costa del Sol-Axarquía, was initiated in November 2006 with an implementation time of 36 months, which means it is pretty much going according to schedule.
This second purification plant will serve 95,000 people in Torrox, Algorrobo Costa and part of Caleta de Vélez.
A network of collectors lead to a pumping station on the left side of the arroyo Manzano and from there to the actual treatment plant.
This will leave Nerja as the only municipality in the district without a treatment plant and, as yet, such a project has not even been put out to tender.
