Red flag in Fuengirola due to a sanitation fault

The Fuengirola City Council has raised the red flag at the beach areas located near the river mouth as a preventive measure due to the "incident" that has occurred at the Cerro del Águila Wastewater Treatment Plant (EDAR), which has inevitably caused the shutdown of the main pumping system, as reported by the public company Acosol.

The measure affects an area of 300 meters on each side of the mouth of the Fuengirola river and will remain in place until Acosol completes the necessary repair work, according to sources from the City Council, who indicate that this is a "preventive measure" and that no "incidents" have occurred.

The company of the Association of Municipalities of the Western Costa del Sol assures that it is carrying out the necessary work so that the repair of the EDAR can be completed "as soon as possible", but while this is happening, Acosol technicians advised the City Council to raise the red flag.

The Fuengirola City Council appreciates "the collaboration and understanding" demonstrated by the users of these beaches, as well as the compliance with this "exceptional and temporary" restriction.
