The titanic effort of the operation launched by Aragon to help Valencia allowed the Plaza Mayor of Catarroja, one of the municipalities most punished by DANA, once again the air cleared of mud after the tragic passage of the storm.
The Government of Aragon confirmed this Monday that this symbolic space “It’s finally back to normal.”. “The progress made in recent days in unblocking the sewerage network has made it possible to speed up the street washing work, since the water used for this work no longer stagnates on the road, but is absorbed by the drainage network “, reported the Executive.
In these moments, 99 people are part of the operation. Among them, seven Civil Protection and coordination technicians, 50 brigades and forestry agents, 20 police officers, 10 drivers and tractor drivers, four health workers, two psychologists and six Civil Protection volunteers.
As for the machines, there are five civil protection and general support vehicles, advanced victim support (AVS) and five Infoar pumpers, in addition to bath trucks, a semi-trailer, a mixed backhoe , sewage treatment equipment, bobcats and a team of large tonnage septic tanks.
According to the Aragonese Government, sector 3, in which 112 have been working since the beginning, will be completely finished at the end of this week, although at the same time it is supported in the cleaning of other public buildings of interest to the City Hall of Catarroja located in other areas of the city.
During these weeks, the troops found everything in the sewers, from doors to encyclopedias, dishes and toys; property which has been completely destroyed by water and which They brought the city’s sewer system under control.
Looking ahead to the coming days, work will focus on continuing to clean the sanitation and sewer network, removing mud and debris from the streets and dealing with incidents at the request of the population. Additionally, Aragon maintains the coordination of the entire emergency operation throughout the municipality through the figure of Jorge Crespo.
The fact that the Plaza Mayor has been recovered does not in any way mean that Aragon’s aid will stop. The vice president herself, Mar Vaquero, announced a few weeks ago that the troops They would stay on the ground until after Christmas, and the possibility that they would have to stay for up to six months was even considered. It is not for nothing that Catarroja is only one of the municipalities affected by DANA.
