The Torrefarrera City Council has opened the call for grants for the adoption of corrective anti-flood measures in homes in the lower part of the urban center, with an allocation of 30,000 euros. The call, approved by Mayoral decree 407/2026 of August 20, 2026, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lleida number 163, of August 26, 2026.

The regulatory bases were initially approved by the City Council Plenary on December 11, 2025, and definitively on March 19, 2026, and were published in the BOP of Lleida number 56, of March 23, 2026. The call is processed under a non-competitive concurrence regime, meaning that applications will be handled in order of submission until the planned credit is exhausted.

Object and amount

The object of the call is to finance works and installations that reduce or minimize flooding in homes during heavy rains. The economic allocation is 30,000.00 €, charged to budget application 160/48000 of the 2026 municipal budget, fully financed with own resources.

The maximum amount to be received will be 100% of the eligible expenses, up to a maximum amount of 2,000.00 € per beneficiary and until the call’s credit is exhausted.
