The Acequia San Marcos ratifies its extinction in the Cinca Canal

The Acequia San Marcos Irrigation Community has called an Ordinary General Assembly for the upcoming December 3, 2026, in order to ratify the agreement for integration by absorption into the Canal del Cinca Irrigation Community No. 1, which will result in the effective extinction of the entity on December 31, 2026. The notice, signed in Barbastro on November 9, 2026, by the secretary, Antonio Campo Olivar, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Huesca (BOP) no. 216, dated Wednesday, November 11, 2026, section I, page 17, with the official reference BOPH-2026-216012 (announcement number 5067).

Three ratifications for one extinction

The fourth item on the agenda submits to the assembly the ratification of the agreement adopted in the Extraordinary General Assembly of April 3, 2014, and again ratified in the Ordinary General Assembly of July 26, 2021. The text establishes the integration into the Canal del Cinca Irrigation Community No. 1 by absorption of the latter and the subsequent extinction of Acequia San Marcos, effective from the last day of 2026.

• Extinction of the Acequia San Marcos Irrigation Community effective December 31, 2026.
• Integration by absorption into the Canal del Cinca Irrigation Community No. 1.
• Detail of “the elements entailed by the extinction” which require an express pronouncement, including those of a contractual and patrimonial nature.

The notice emphasizes that this is a matter requiring an explicit agreement from the assembly, therefore the entity requests “maximum attendance of participants.”

Posthumous tribute to the deceased president

The second item proposes the agreement for a posthumous tribute to the president of the community, José Antonio Jubero Carrasco, “who sadly passed away on November 1, 2026.” The proposal recognizes his “extraordinary work, tireless dedication, and legacy” at the helm of the entity, based in Barbastro.

The assembly will be held in the conference room of the Diocesan Museum of Barbastro, at Plaza Palacio no. 1, at 5:30 p.m. on the first call and at 6:00 p.m. on the second.

Economic balance and rules of the call

The third item on the agenda addresses the presentation and approval, if applicable, of the Income and Expenditure Balance and the Treasury report for the 2024-2025 fiscal years, as well as the advance for the 2026 fiscal year. The session will be completed with the reading and approval of the minutes of the previous session and the period for requests and questions.

• First call: 5:30 p.m. on December 3, 2026.
• Second call: 6:00 p.m., same place and date.
• According to Article 52 of the bylaws, in the second call, agreements shall be valid “regardless of the number of participants attending.”
• Article 54 allows for representation by other participants, administrators, or legal representatives.

The Cinca Canal, in full modernization

The absorbing company is facing a large-scale investment process in zone 4 of its irrigation network, which affects the municipal districts of Barbastro, El Grado, and Hoz y Costeán. Decree 76/2025, of July 9, from the Government of Aragon, declared the initiative to be of general interest, and Order AGA/1101/2026, of July 13, published the agreement of July 8, 2026, which declared the urgent occupation of assets and rights of modified project number 2, processed under file H210005.

The expropriation announcement, published in BOP no. 187, of September 30, 2026, page 50 (reference BOPH-2026-187012), names the Comunidad de Regantes Canal del Cinca número 1 as the beneficiary and sets the drawing up of preliminary occupation records.

The decision affects all participants and irrigators in the Barbastro area, who will see their historical community disappear at the end of the year: the assembly on December 3 is the last formal opportunity to establish the asset and contractual conditions of the extinction and to bid farewell to the president who led it until his passing.
