Expropriations to improve the water supply in Fuenlabrada de los Montes and Garbayuela

The Regional Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport and Housing of the Regional Government of Extremadura has opened the public information process regarding the list of assets, rights, and owners affected by the water supply improvement works in Fuenlabrada de los Montes and Garbayuela (Badajoz). The announcement, signed on October 23, 2026, and published in the Official Gazette of Extremadura (DOE) No. 217, on November 11, 2026, bears the official reference 2026081830 and file number PRC108771L1.

This step is mandatory before occupying the land: the project, technically titled “Improvement of water supply to Fuenlabrada de los Montes and Garbayuela (Badajoz),” was approved on September 17, 2026, and its execution requires the expropriation of the plots included in the list. The action is co-financed by the European Union.

Legal basis and scope of the process

The announcement is based on Articles 18 and 19 of the Compulsory Expropriation Law of December 16, 1954, and the corresponding provisions of its Regulations. The public information period is open for 15 business days so that any person may submit in writing the data necessary to rectify possible errors in the published list or oppose, for reasons of substance or form, the need to occupy the assets.

Those who oppose must also indicate the reasons why they consider the occupation of other assets or the acquisition of other rights not included in the list to be preferable. The file is identified as PRC108771L1 and the published list is presented as “Public Information No. 1.”

They may also be submitted at any of the registries and offices provided for in Article 16.4 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations.

The announcement is published in the DOE and in the Official Provincial Gazette and will be displayed on the notice boards of the town halls of the affected municipalities. The text is signed by Laura Castell Vivas, general secretary of the Department, by delegation of the Minister of Industry, Energy, Science and Territory according to the resolution of June 24, 2026 (DOE no. 126, of July 2).

Data protection of the affected parties

In accordance with Article 5 of Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, the personal data of the interested parties are incorporated into an automated file owned by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport and Housing, for the purpose of managing the expropriation files. This data may be transferred to the Department of Finance, Public Administration and Social Dialogue, and the affected parties may exercise their rights of access, rectification, cancellation, and opposition at the indicated addresses.

The publication opens the formal channel for the owners of the five registered estates in Fuenlabrada de los Montes to defend their interests before the regional administration finalizes the occupation of the land: the procedure establishes the framework in which the area, crop, and ownership of each plot affected by the improvement of the water supply to both municipalities will be discussed.
