Barragem do Lago Viriato

The municipality of Covilhã, approved at the last meeting of the Executive, the decision of the local authority Services to launch recovery works in the Dam Lake viriathus. The works are budgeted at about two million euros, but the intervention will cost only ten percent municipal coffers, since the remainder is supported by Community funds.

Will be consolidated the seawall of the dam and built new mechanical means. This recovery will mean "increased availability of water for the municipality in the order of 30 percent," explains Carlos Pinto.


The President of the municipality also ensures that it is possible to reconcile the performance of the works with the water supply. The work will be divided into two phases. The first will be held between the spring and summer of next year and the second will take place in 2004.

Viriato Lake dam was built 60 years ago and since then has not had any kind of intervention. Miguel Birth, Socialist councillor in the Municipality of Covilhã was pleased with the decision of the municipality because "this situation turns out to fill some gaps in the problem of water supply in the municipality".
