The Vilanova del Vallès City Council has requested over 6 million euros from the Diputació de Barcelona to address the damage caused by torrential floods on October 3rd and 4th.

The technical report submitted with the request details that during those two days, the alert thresholds of the Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya were widely exceeded. The episode caused numerous landslides with severe structural damage to buildings and left municipal infrastructures inoperable.
The rains also caused the displacement of sand, vegetation, and debris, collapses of retaining walls, and other issues requiring urgent action to restore safety and functionality to the affected areas.
The documentation includes nearly ninety actions, with a total budget exceeding 6 million euros, necessary for repairing the damage.
Through this request, the council aims to secure the necessary financial support to cope with the consequences of this exceptional weather event.
