      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/4f0f47fc-f32c-49a2-9510-f3130d215ea5_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>The Sineu Town Council continues to take steps to improve municipal infrastructure, this time focusing on the drinking water supply network, where an investment exceeding €200,000 will be made. The Council has put out to tender the project to replace a section of the drinking water network around the Plaza de la Quintana and the Plaza de los Reyes de Mallorca, an initiative supported by the 2024 Water Pact, with a budget of €184,134.44. In addition, the network on Jaume I Street will be renovated, with a budget of almost €45,000. The main objective of this project is to guarantee the urban water supply within the municipality and replace sections that currently have deficiencies or have become obsolete. The works will affect key points in the upper part of the town, including Llorito, Palma, and Toros streets, as well as the aforementioned Quintana and Reyes de Mallorca squares. Tomeu Mulet, mayor of Sineu, explains that "water losses in these areas had already been reduced a few years ago with the sectorization of the network, but even so, network renewal was advisable." Mulet also explains that "in addition to renewing the network, we will take the opportunity to repave all these areas." The plan includes the installation of new pipes and valves, as well as the construction of concrete manholes and inspection chambers to facilitate future maintenance of the system. This action complements the City Council's policies to reduce losses in the network and optimize the municipality's water resources, a growing priority in the context of water management in the Pla de Mallorca region. </p>]]></description>

The latest analyses released by the opposition confirm this. In May, the networks of Malbúger, Turó, Sant Climent, and Grau-Cala Llonga still showed nitrate concentration levels above 50 milligrams per liter, the maximum limit set by the World Health Organization (WHO) for considering water drinkable.</p>]]></description>
