Aitona plans a flood attenuation basin for the Pare Conrado ravine

The Aitona City Council has opened the public information process, for a period of one month, regarding the specific action project on non-developable land intended for the construction of a flood attenuation basin for the Pare Conrado ravine. The announcement was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lleida (BOP) number 162, dated August 25, 2026, with the official reference BOP-2026_0_162_7214. The document, signed by Mayor Rosa Pujol Esteve on August 21, 2026, is available to the public at the council’s Secretariat.

A project to prevent flooding

The objective of the attenuation basin is to regulate the floods of the Pare Conrado ravine, a flood risk prevention infrastructure that will be located on non-developable land within the municipal district. The project is processed as a specific action, an urban planning instrument that allows for the execution of works of public interest on land that is not classified as urban.

The process is framed within current urban planning regulations, specifically Article 48 of the revised text of the Urban Planning Law and Article 13.4 of the Regulation on the Protection of Urban Legality, approved by Decree 64/2014. These provisions regulate the public information and consultation of files for specific actions on non-developable land.

Deadlines and place of consultation

The public information period is one month, which begins to count from the day after the last publication of the notice, both in the BOP and on the notice board of the City Council’s electronic office. During this period, interested parties may examine the file and submit objections.

• Place of consultation: Secretariat of the Aitona City Council, at Carrer Major, 6 (25182 Aitona, Lleida).
• Hours: Monday to Friday, between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
• Electronic office: Notice board accessible at the City Council’s electronic office.
• Contact: Telephone 973 79 40 10 and email ajuntament@ajuntamentaitona.cat.

Who decides and how it affects residents

The file is promoted by the Aitona City Council, which acts as the driving body of the processing. The signature of the notice corresponds to Mayor Rosa Pujol Esteve, who endorses the official publication of the process. The project directly affects the owners of the properties located in the action area of the ravine, who may consult the file and formulate any objections they deem appropriate during the public exhibition period.

The construction of the attenuation basin responds to the need to reinforce flood prevention in the municipality, an infrastructure that should reduce the risk of floods during episodes of intense rain. Its location on non-developable land requires the processing of a specific action, which guarantees the compatibility of the work with the urban planning regime of the land.

Impact for readers

The initiative has direct relevance for the residents of Aitona and the owners of affected lands, who have one month to learn the details of the project and submit allegations. The attenuation basin is a civil protection measure that can reduce material damage and risks to people in the event of floods in the Pare Conrado ravine, and its transparent processing allows citizens to participate in the decision-making process.
