The pipeline performance is necessary and essential to improve the sanitary conditions of water supplied to the population by the Commonwealth Taibilla Channel, which supplies peak periods more than two million people, among which is the town of Aguilas.
We have already made an important investment to ensure the quality of potable water, the tunnel of the Cenajo Talave.
To complete the action to ensure water quality, must be addressed Cenajo driving up water treatment plants Taibilla channel.
This project has the favorable environmental impact statement, which includes compensatory measures (restoration of riverbanks, monitoring of species of fauna and flora, etc..) With special attention to the portions included in the Natura 2000 network.
Justification for action:
Reports of the Directorate General Health and Consumer Affairs of the Ministry of Health of the Autonomous Community of Murcia, reiterating come since 1994 and to date-year 2010 - that the water supply is:
- Sulfate and magnesium.
It urges the Commonwealth to undertake the necessary actions to ensure water quality.
And since the entry into force of the current drinking water legislation (2003) is necessary to control trihalomethanes (chemicals with health risks to people), which are located at values close to the maximum which permitidos.Por CARM has urged the Commonwealth to undertake the necessary actions to

increase the quality of water supplied by that body.
The Tajo-Segura water as it passes by the banks of the River Mundo, and magnesium sulfate increases, when gypsum.
The Tajo-Segura water as it passes by the banks of the River Mundo, naturally increases and magnesium sulfates, to be ground gypsum
European directives are increasingly demanding in relation to drinking water, and it requires companies responsible for providing substantially improve the quality of water supplied.
In particular, the water they use natural resources for transportation to water treatment, as in our case, and in relation to products that are used in treatment, and due to high concentrations of organic matter generated trihalomethanes elements that involve a potential health risk to people and have to limit, for which currently are corrected with activated carbon.
CONSEQUENCES:
It ensures the quality of water supply for all, avoiding the risks of treatments-chloro-trihalomethanes of waste and carryover.
This action does not jeopardize or traditional irrigation systems, or those linked to the Tajo-Segura, as both have their water allocations determined independently would be needed to supply the Commonwealth Taibilla channel.
As the flow of the river Segura, with input from the Tajo-Segura for water supply and irrigation, it is estimated that with the performance to ensure quality supply of water to reduce the flow rate is only 15%, not the 40 that have been announcing demagogically .
