Storm Adam impact in Oliva

Following the arrival of storm Adam, the municipality of Oliva faced significant flooding. Initial recovery efforts focused on the municipal cemetery, where local authorities and Civil Protection organized volunteer work to repair damage to niches and tombstones caused by floodwaters. This cleanup was prioritized to ensure the site was safe for All Saints’ Day commemorations.

As the recovery progressed, authorities addressed the local water supply. Seventeen days after the floods, officials confirmed that tap water in Oliva Nova and the southern part of the municipality is safe for human consumption. However, restrictions continue for the water network at Oliva beach, which is managed by APPOSA.

To prevent future issues, the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation is preparing emergency works to repair riverbeds in the Bullent, Girona, and Alfadí rivers, as well as the Gallinera rambla. These interventions aim to remove debris and restore hydraulic functionality to the region.
