José Luis Sanz has visited the Emasesa works on Valparaíso street, where the sanitation network is being renewed with an investment of over €77,000. He also checked the reurbanisation of Juan Pablos and Porvenir street.
The Mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz, supervised the progress of the works that the City Council, through Emasesa and in coordination with the Urbanism and Environment Management, is carrying out in the El Porvenir neighbourhood, in the southern district, on Thursday. The works aim to modernise hydraulic infrastructures, improve accessibility, and renew public space.
On Valparaíso street, Emasesa has been working since June on replacing old pipelines with new, higher capacity and efficiency conduits, with an investment of over €77,000. This intervention is complemented by the reurbanisation of Juan Pablos street, which has a budget of nearly €95,000 and will create more than ten parking spaces.
During the visit, Sanz highlighted that "we continue to fulfil our commitment to invest in all neighbourhoods of Seville, renewing essential infrastructures that have needed action for years and improving the quality of public space to make the city more comfortable, accessible, and prepared for the future."
"We are renewing a basic infrastructure to ensure better service for residents and avoid future problems in the sanitation network. At the same time, we are taking advantage of the work to completely renew the pavement of the roadway and sidewalks, returning the road in the best conditions once the work is completed," the mayor pointed out.
The works include the installation of new sections of pipe of various diameters, the construction and adaptation of inspection wells, the incorporation of new drains, and the complete replacement of pavements. During execution, there are occasional disruptions to traffic and pedestrian transit.
Sanz thanked residents for their understanding and emphasised that "we are aware of the inconveniences that works of this nature can cause, but they are temporary and absolutely necessary to have more modern, safe, and efficient infrastructures that will result in better service for everyone."
The mayor also checked the results of the work already completed on Porvenir street, where Emasesa and the Urbanism Management have renewed the supply and sanitation networks through an investment of over €172,000. The road has been reurbanised with cobblestones on the roadway and hydraulic slabs on the sidewalks.
Additionally, the project incorporates accessibility improvements: architectural barriers have been removed, pedestrian crossings have been adapted, the sidewalk around the El Porvenir health centre has been widened, and the flowerbed in front of the clinic has been reorganised to facilitate pedestrian transit.
"Every action we undertake is an opportunity to build a more accessible and inclusive Seville. We want our public spaces to be safer and more comfortable for everyone, especially for those with greater mobility difficulties," Sanz added.
To minimise the impact of the works, the City Council has set up temporary walkways, specific signage, and alternative routes to ensure pedestrian mobility during the execution of the works.
The mayor concluded by emphasising that "these investments reflect the municipal government's commitment to continue transforming the neighbourhoods of Seville from the essential, renewing infrastructures that are not visible but are essential for the city's proper functioning." The works on Valparaíso and Juan Pablos continue on schedule, with completion expected in the coming months.
