The mayor of Jumilla, Juana Guardiola, and Council of Sports and Works, Juan Manuel García and Francisco González, reported this morning at a press conference the details of the construction of the new Olympic glass of Municipal Pools La Hoya.
The current pool dates back to the early eighties and since 2010 has come detecting water losses due to leakage.
Since then there have been rushing emergency repairs.
After finishing the last summer season, particularly in October 2015, Aguas de Jumilla issued a report stating that presents serious structural problems that necessitate a solution.
The mayor said that "the situation was alarming and serve as an example to be emptied in three days. We were then aware of the seriousness of the matter, as the previous government never informed of the disturbing reality. That was when we had to find solution commissioning geological studies and a project that was delivered to the City Council on April 5. at the same time had to include a line item in the budget this year of 600,000 euros, the approximate cost of the work. from that moment the preparation starts specifications to proceed with the award, which is four or five months, to which must be added similar to the execution of the work time. adding deadlines is clearly not stopped working and anyone with a little common sense knows that this summer can not be made the work ".
However, the Councillor for Sports has reported that the Pools La Hoya will open, although "obviously can not be used the Olympic cup".
He has even stated that it came to raise "perform an emergency operation to use the glass this summer, but the technical report issued in November is strong and recommended the demolition of the current pool and a comprehensive intervention, not only for the great loss water, but the danger for swimmers, as no security is guaranteed. There was no responsibility of the previous government, as this problem comes back. "
Juan Manuel García has also advanced to swimming lessons, which will be reduced, possibly to be stopped Triathlon Jumilla, since it is not feasible to do so in the indoor pool in summer temperature issues will be affected.
The mayor also alluded to the lack of support by the Director General of Sports to undertake these works.
"He has refused from day one, without going any further, yesterday. It has 5.874 million euros in its budget, but says he has no money for investment. Archena, for example, received 58,000 euros itself to repair its flag" .
His conclusion was that "it is a wise decision. Even if the time had permitted we would not have started work before summer because that would have meant not being able to open even the glasses medium and small. I hope that no PP councilor me disrespect as it did one with his own colleagues when the Indoor pool was closed from 2011 to 2013 ".
Project new Olympic pool
For his part, Francisco González, explained the details of the project to be undertaken.
He has previously taught pictures of the current state of the system: "It's scary entering the treatment plant, the roof had to be even buttressed by the humidities may eventually leaks could even affect the other two vessels.".
As for the work, it has indicated that it will maintain the vessel Olympic measures, building it in full.
It also renewed four steps sewage and shower will be placed, instead of two as at present.
It will also be new whole water supply, electrical installation, as well as forged and staircase area of ​​the treatment plant.
It also placed a lift for people with disabilities.
The vessel will be designed and reinforced concrete and vulcanizará everything in contact with water.
"It will be an investment that will last over time and can enjoy our children."
