This agreement, described as historic by the president of the Provincial Council, Vicent Mompó, highlights institutional collaboration to defend the interests of Valencian towns when their needs exceed municipal capacity. The agreement includes the reconstruction of 62 wastewater treatment plants and the construction of 15 new ones.

Natàlia Enguix, president of Egevasa, emphasized the reconstruction work carried out by the Provincial Council through its company dedicated to the integrated water cycle. After the DANA storm, the 72 wastewater treatment plants devastated by the flood were quickly repaired, and all are now operational. Enguix stressed the importance of having the administrative support of an agreement that legally enables what is technically possible.

Among the new actions included in the agreement are eight wastewater treatment plants that are part of the EPSAR's works plan, located in towns such as Andilla, Almiserà-Llocnou de Sant Jeroni, Requena, Puebla de San Miguel, Alpuente, Albaida, Gavarda, and Sot de Chera. Additionally, the Provincial Council will build seven new stations in Simat de la Valldigna, Montserrat, Montroi, Alzira, Godelleta-Loma de los Caballeros, Genovés, and Calles, with an estimated cost of 36 million euros.

The cooperation agreement to modernize the province's water infrastructures was approved in the Provincial Council's March plenary session and will receive the green light from the Consell in its plenary session this Friday. The 62 stations to be reconstructed in municipalities across 13 regions will involve the installation of electromechanical machinery to improve purification, disinfection, and sludge management processes, leading to significant energy savings. These actions, estimated at around 15 million euros, will be undertaken by the Provincial Council's water company.
