The cleaning and clearing work on the Valada dikes began on October 14th, as part of the program-contract signed between the Municipal Council of Cartaxo, the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA), and the Environmental Fund.
The intervention aims to ensure the dikes are cleared and to create conditions for access and visibility for a future technical inspection, which is crucial for defining rehabilitation needs. These works are essential for both the parish of Valada and the entire municipality, due to the infrastructure's impact on public safety and the territory's economy.
The Municipal Council of Cartaxo is awaiting the receipt of the execution project from the APA, a document necessary to proceed with the tender for the rehabilitation of these infrastructures.
The Municipality is monitoring the progress of the works, in coordination with the competent entities, aiming to ensure the advancement of the necessary interventions for the rehabilitation of the dikes, which are fundamental for the protection of people, their homes, and their property, as well as agricultural fields.
