Villarrobledo opens the wastewater discharge ordinance for public consultation

The Villarrobledo City Council has opened for public consultation the modification of its Wastewater Discharge and Purification Ordinance, initially approved by the Municipal Plenary in the session of September 28, 2026. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete number 118, corresponding to Friday, October 9, 2026, in the third section (Local Administration), page 56, with reference 25.314. From that date, interested parties have thirty days to submit claims and suggestions regarding the text.

Thirty days to appeal

The plenary agreement submits the modification to public consultation for a period of thirty days, during which it may be subject to claims and suggestions. The announcement warns that, should none be presented, the aforementioned modification will be understood as definitively approved, without the need for a new express agreement from the Plenary.

The administrative file is held at the Secretariat of the Villarrobledo City Council, where it can be examined from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 to 14:00 hours. The procedure complies with article 49 of Law 7/1985, of April 2, regulating the Bases of the Local Regime, and article 196 of Royal Decree 2568/1986, of November 28, which approves the Regulation of Organization, Operation, and Legal Regime of Local Entities.

• Period for appeals: thirty days from the publication of the announcement.
• Body that initially approved: the Plenary of the Villarrobledo City Council, in the session of September 28, 2026.
• Place to consult the file: municipal Secretariat.
• Examination hours: Monday to Friday, from 9:00 to 14:00 hours.
• Effect if there are no appeals: definitive approval of the modification.

Who signs and where it is published

The announcement was signed in Villarrobledo on September 29, 2026, by the mayor, Simón Valentín Bueno Vargas, and is disseminated in the third section of the provincial gazette, dedicated to Local Administration. The publication in the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete number 118 is what formally opens the countdown for the public exhibition period.

An already consolidated ordinance

The Municipal Wastewater Discharge and Purification Ordinance of the Villarrobledo City Council is not an improvised regulation: it already appears as a reference subject in the syllabus of a municipal selection process published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete number 117, of October 7, 2026, page 48, within the block dedicated to local competencies in urban waste management, water supply, and the evacuation and treatment of wastewater.

The modification currently being processed thus joins a body of municipal regulations that govern the discharge and treatment of wastewater within the municipality of Villarrobledo.

Impact for users

The relevance of the news lies in the deadline: any interested person or entity may file an objection against the text for one month before it is definitively approved. As this is an ordinance that regulates the discharge and treatment of wastewater, the procedure opens the door for users and operators to submit observations regarding a rule of general application in the municipality. Once the deadline has passed without claims, the modification will be approved without further formalities.
