The Cheste City Council has given the green light to the documents that will shape the future of water supply in the municipality. The plenary unanimously approved the economic-financial feasibility study, the investment plan, and the cost structure that will serve as the basis for the new comprehensive water management contract, an initiative involving an investment of nearly four million euros.
The initiative aims to transform the current supply system by connecting infrastructures that have operated independently until now, as well as incorporating new technologies to improve network efficiency and control.
“"This is a historic opportunity to transform the service, as infrastructures that have operated independently will be connected, allowing for more efficient, real-time management. The project prioritizes sustainability, including the use of solar energy for water extraction, all without increasing the water bill."
For his part, the Councilor for the Environment, David Pujals, pointed out that “this plan allows us to move towards a more efficient, resilient service adapted to current and future environmental challenges, with a clear commitment to sustainability and responsible water use”.
Among the main planned actions is the interconnection of the industrial estate and urban area reservoirs, a measure that will integrate currently separate networks and improve both the supply guarantee and the response capacity to incidents.
The plan also includes the implementation of remote reading and control systems to optimize network management, detect leaks more quickly, and monitor facility operations in real-time. The investments will be executed through a 25-year concession contract.
