The municipality of Bueu (Pontevedra) has called on citizens to follow the rules for using public beach toilets, stating that their poor condition at night is linked to the emptying of motorhomes. The situation is described as "very serious," especially given the existence of a serviced motorhome area in A Achadiza.
Beach councillor Silvia Carballo reported that monitoring showed a deterioration of toilets during nighttime hours, associated with motorhome dumping at beaches such as Lagos, Tuia and Mourisca. Water samples at some beaches also showed anomalies, although the beach of Banda del Río (A Banda do Río) shows excellent results after an incident earlier in the summer.
According to new reports, caravan and motorhome users dump grey and black water into chemical toilets on beaches at night. The most affected beaches are Mourisca and Tuia. Authorities plan to step up controls, as the town has a free overnight area for motorhomes with a waste disposal point connected to the sewer.
