"The council has explained that" two actions are currently being studied to see which is more viable, neither would involve the opening of trenches or the cut of water supply. "
The first would consist of the application of an epoxy paint in a layer of 3 millimeters and the second in the installation of a sealed 35 cm inner sleeve that is rigid with ultraviolet rays.
The two would be able to completely seal the pipes and eliminate possible imperfections.
Ortiz explained that "Murcia has 7.5 kilometers of gray cast iron pipes in the historic center, some of which are more than 70. In ten years only 29 breaks have been accounted for and chance has caused two of them , Those of the street San Antonio and Sagasta, take place in two consecutive weekends ".
As indicated by the councilman "the rupture of the pipeline of San Antonio Street was due to one that the screws of the connections were broken while in the street Sagasta was by a blowout. It has been a fortuitous thing that can not be foreseen with the Leak detection systems ".
