And then there are the classic emergencies: water leaks, electrical faults, water heaters that stop heating. In Guardamar, they have their own complications because the municipality extends from the centre to quite distant urbanisations like El Edén or the scattered houses in the river area. Response times vary depending on the exact location. But the rest of the problems are still there. The town houses in the historic centre of Guardamar often have installations that haven't been renovated since the 1970s. Electrical fuse boxes with ceramic fuses, lead pipes surviving in some sections, pre-thermal break anodised aluminium windows that condense every winter. The mix of property types – modern beach apartments, 1980s blocks near the promenade, old town houses, recent urbanisations in El Raso and El Edén – results in a very diverse demand profile for the same municipality.
