Answer

Will Artà’s new drainage system be ready for heavy rain?

The drainage system has been improved and is better prepared for normal rain events than before. Even so, very intense downpours can still test any town system, especially in places with steep streets and changing ground conditions. Green areas, permeable surfaces and good maintenance can help strengthen the long-term response.
