As every year, the Department of Beaches and the concessionaire of its integral management, RA Benidorm, are "carrying out the tasks of setting up the beaches of the city so that from February 15 they are in perfect conditions", As reported by the councillor of the department, Lorenzo Martínez.
At present, these actions "are focusing on the repair and start-up of footbaths and walkways." The footbaths on Levante, located at the avenues of Valencia, Bilbao, Parroco Juan Rodríguez, Emilio Romero and Filipinas, have already been acted while in Poniente beach, those of Tamarindos section have been adapted. In the next few days, the repair and maintenance tasks will be completed in all the footbaths of Levante, Poniente and Mal Pas.
Martínez recalled that "every year from January 15 to February 15 all the furniture and facilities of the beaches are removed to proceed to their natural cleaning." Specifically, the surface of the beach is sifted to turn the sand, making it possible for the sun's ultraviolet action to disinfect it. Once this action is completed, "the City Council makes analytical weekly to verify that water and sand meet the quality parameters set by legislation."
