Councillors from the Fuerza Patria bloc met with residents and the delegate in Reta, Daniel Civetta, to analyse the storm damage and seek urgent solutions to the flooding of streets.
The councillors from Fuerza Patria held a meeting with residents and the municipal delegate of Reta, Daniel Civetta, to address the serious problems caused by the recent storm. The meeting focused on the accumulation of water in dead-end streets and the risk of further rainfall.
Concern over Stagnant Water and Groundwater
Councillor Adolfo Olivera explained that the main reason for the meeting was to “analyse what the storm has caused, given the concern about how to drain water from some streets that have no outlet to the sea.” Residents fear that new rains will worsen the deterioration of homes and local infrastructure.
Olivera noted that the groundwater is less than 50 centimetres from the surface in areas where construction was done without planning. “Now water flows in front of their houses, making it difficult to solve,” he stated. The councillors committed to contacting municipal officials to seek a solution.
Support for the Delegate, but Urgent Solutions Needed
Residents expressed their satisfaction with the work of delegate Daniel Civetta, although Olivera warned that “this support has a time limit, so if solutions are not provided, that will surely change.” The councillor highlighted that the municipality's presence is constant, but the problems are longstanding and require swift measures.
Regarding the beach, affected by cyclogenesis, Olivera indicated that recovery will take time, but the priority now is to “provide an outlet through the sub-marine tunnel.”
“We are always willing to connect with residents of any locality addressing their complaints,” assured Olivera.
A Recurring Structural Problem
Reta has historically suffered from drainage and flooding problems after heavy rains. The lack of urban planning has exacerbated the situation, and residents are demanding definitive solutions. The councillors from Fuerza Patria committed to following up on the management and keeping the community informed.
For residents, the meeting represents a first step, but the urgency is high: stagnant water not only damages homes but also poses a health risk. The coming days will be crucial to see if municipal efforts translate into concrete actions.
