Lançada sewer project will connect wastewater to the Afonsoeiro plant
SIMARSUL has signed a €472,102.60 contract for a drainage and pumping system in Sarilhos Grandes, with a 330-day construction period.
Archived after the 18 October edition. Search retains this original briefing for background and accountability.
Archived 19 October 2026The contract starts a public-infrastructure project; it does not mean every property is connected today. Residents should use municipal or utility notices for street works, service changes and any property-level requirements.
- The awarded contract is worth €472,102.60.
- The construction period is 330 days.
- The system is intended to carry wastewater to the Afonsoeiro treatment plant.
The project adds collection and pumping capacity
The new system is intended to collect wastewater in Lançada and convey it for treatment rather than leave the area outside the main route. SIMARSUL links the work to water-resource, ecosystem and public-health protection.
A signed contract establishes scope and price, but residents still need later information about the construction programme and affected streets.
Property connections are a separate question
The regional system does not automatically explain whether a private building must alter its connection or when a particular street will be disturbed. Those details belong to the utility and municipal implementation notices.
Keep access routes clear around signed works and contact the responsible body before changing private drainage. Never rely on a contractor's unsolicited payment request without verification.
