The Pineda de Mar City Council has approved an extraordinary economic allocation to repair the five ornamental fountains in the municipality that suffered severe damage following the torrential rains of October 3rd.

According to a technical report, the heavy rainfall flooded machine rooms, causing significant damage to pumps, filtration systems, water treatment equipment, and electrical panels. The affected fountains are those in Can Bel, Plaça Sara Llorenç, Plaça de les Creus, Plaça de les Mèlies, and Plaça del Sol.
In most cases, the electromechanical equipment was submerged in water and mud, necessitating its replacement. The fountain in Plaça Sara Llorenç has the most significant damage, with partial subsidence of a side wall in the machine room, requiring specific repair and consolidation work.
With this extraordinary allocation, the council can begin the work to replace the damaged equipment and restore the fountains' functionality with full safety guarantees. The action is part of the measures to repair damage caused by recent extreme weather events and ensure the proper maintenance of Pineda de Mar's public spaces.
