The councillor for Street Cleaning and Waste Management, Manuel Villar, explained that “we are working together and in coordination so that all the evacuation systems work perfectly in the event of torrential rains.

“This is to avoid risks to the population in the event of episodes of cold drops due to the warming of the Mediterranean Sea,” he added.
