The results of the water analysis of the Arenal-Bol beach reveal that the water is in an excellent condition, so the Town Council has reopened the stretch of the beach at the mouth of the Quisi ravine to bathing.
The Directorate General for Water has sent the Town Hall the report on the analysis of the water samples from the bathing area taken last Monday, when the possible breakage of the purified water collector was detected. However, after the appropriate checks, it has been ruled out that this was the cause.
The municipality of Calpe immediately took preventive measures to avoid health risks, such as building a sand dike at the mouth of the Quisi ravine to prevent more water from reaching the sea, fencing off the area to prevent users from accessing it, as well as prohibiting bathing in that section. The treated water was also chlorinated to reduce the possible load of microorganisms and to keep the water on the beach at optimum levels for bathing.
‘In Calpe, we have acted with caution and transparency, prioritising health safety. Finally, it has been verified that the outfall has not broken and that the water for bathing is of excellent quality’, said the mayoress of Calpe, Ana Sala.
