The Mayor of Viseu is demanding that a new dam be included in any agreement reached with the national government. This requirement stems from the need to replace the existing Fagilde dam and ensure a secure water supply for the region. The new dam is considered essential to prevent future water shortages and support ongoing development. The municipality believes the agreement should explicitly outline the construction of this critical infrastructure project. Without it, Viseu fears potential challenges in maintaining adequate water resources for its population and economic activities. Negotiations are ongoing, with the dam’s inclusion proving to be a key point of contention. The local government is firm in its position, emphasizing the long-term benefits of this infrastructure investment.
