Members of the Association for the Conservation of the Huerta de Murcia HUERMUR within their periodic visits to the elements of the Traditional Irrigation Hydraulic Network to check their status and warn of damage, have found that the metal part of the wheel Nora, replaced less than three years ago, has begun to crumble.
Several of the buckets left margin have broken the rolling element, leaving the blades into the air, with the potential danger, both to the wheel itself, as for the brick construction and for pedestrians transiting the area.
That is why from HUERMUR has alerted local and regional government, demanding that they carry out urgent measures to preserve this cultural conservation that has the maximum legal protection (national historic monument now well assimilated cultural interest "BIC") as well as to clarify been able to last less than three years an element restored between 2010 and 2011 and € 76,275 was spent under the supervision and collaboration of administrations.
It should be noted that previous metal wheel lasted about seven decades, despite its state of neglect and abandonment.
This time, it has not even reached the three years, which would be inexplicable if the trip had done as directed by the cultural technical and legal provisions.
But as usual in proceedings conducted by the current Board of Directors of the Landowners, their initiatives often bring with it consequences as those that have been seen in this case.
