Sewer Mayor Lazaro Mellado, has moved several writings in the day, getting the attention of the serious problems that have been detected as a result of cleaning and improvements that are taking place these days in the vicinity of the Wheel Aqueduct and Sewer, which detected an obvious deterioration of this structure, mainly due to the constant water loss which seriously affect the structure.

The writings preventing this serious situation have been transferred to the Chairman of the Board of Landowners of the Huerta de Murcia, Sigifredo Hernandez Perez, being problematic created by Mayor Alquibla ditches or barriers, which is passing in front of the Museum of Huerta and Sewer which is born of the wheel itself and begins its course through the aqueduct, or they can also occur through the Turbedal ditch itself born of Mayor ditch just before crossing Ferris wheel itself or Sewer.

It has also been shown all these circumstances, both the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Pedro Alberto Cruz, as the Director General of Cultural Assets, Francisco Gimenez, as the Minister of Education, Culture and Sport Jose Ignacio Wert and the Deputy Director General Historical Heritage of the Ministry, responsible for those properties included in the General, being protected by the same be referred to as Historic Artistic Monument of National character (BOE No 181 - Royal Decree 1757/1982), in order to adopt appropriate measures as urgently as possible, before having to regret something worse, requiring a performance of more importance.

Leaving the impression of a meeting where we can provide a quick solution to this serious problem.

The inspection from the City Sewer, through the Department of Culture, has been carried out, indicates that "Unas, the least due to deterioration over time.'re Small leaks which compensation would be simple, waterproofing the channel or covering the cracks using appropriate materials to not degrade this work. And others, more numerous, are those that could affect more forceful way to the structure, both in number and in the amount of water sliding down the wall and waterlogged soil. these are due, as we have seen "in situ" the overflow of the channel by the large amount of water that carries ".

Sewer Mayor Lazaro Mellado, he said that "when the gate that regulates the flow is opened more than necessary, which ultimately occurs, the flow passes through the aqueduct is excessive, and as a few meters is to enter through a tube that does not have sufficient capacity to drain, causing water by various overflow points. This is causing two problems that would impact primarily directly on an alarming deterioration of the Arches: On the one hand, the water overflowing abundantly waterlogged ground to the point of making the area impassable because it produces rehundimientos terrain that can affect the structure. Secondly, as noted, the water sliding down the wall and wears this structure deteriorates, also causing the proliferation of small scrub the wall hanging and whose roots open cracks. "

He has stated that "you can see visually to avoid these overflows have regrown in several areas of the channel walls for more water transport, without respecting the original materials and an awkward (with brick and cement plaster); moving well the problem of overflow to other areas, in addition to which is more abundant water running down the wall. "

Lazarus Mellado, also stated that "these actions are not the most suitable for the conservation of the structure. Neither the materials used seem to contribute to the image to be given the Arches, as substantially alter the appearance. Seems logical everything could be solved by avoiding such circulating water quantity, using the gates that regulate the flow of access, or favoring the drainage of excess flow channel, through tubes (which apparently exist but are annulled) returning the water left over the ditch ".

Since then, the appearance presented by these works Arcos regrowth of the channel, offering the viewer a deplorable view is not adequate to an architectural work of this historical and cultural significance.

We can understand that the Aqueduct remains valid as favoring architectural watering our garden.

But it is also binding on the Administration to take action on the matter, to protect this great work of architecture, combining its use for irrigation with the need to keep it in top condition for the enjoyment of all as a Cultural and monument National Historical and Artistic Interest, as it was by Royal Decree 1757/1982, published in Official Gazette No. 181, dated July 30, 1982).
