Period:
February 2010 - January 2015
Type of work:
Hydraulic Infrastructures
Budget:

Works consisted of the construction of a Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) with two treatment lines and with total capacity of 350 l/s. Water is collected at the intermediate drain of the Llosa del Cavall Dam, located approximately 1.2 km upstream from the General Pumping Station (GPS) that feeds the DWTP.
From the DWTP, water is distributed to the high-level supply network through some 44.7 km of steel piping with 610 mm diameter, and 22.24 km of smaller branches. The network includes a 3,000 m³ load-break and regulation tank, from which most of the distribution branches depart.
