The mayor of Salou, Pere Granados, stated that "the sewer system guarantees hygiene and public health, as well as preventing possible flooding and facilitating the treatment of wastewater".
 
The councillor for General Services, Concessions and Authorisations, Jesús Barragán, explained that "Salou's sewer system, which is more than 200 kilometres long, serves approximately 29,000 inhabitants all year round, plus the increase in the summer population, and commercial establishments. The cleaning of the sewer system is necessary to ensure that both sewage and wastewater circulate without any solid element obstructing their flow and to ensure their correct evacuation". According to Barragán, "UTE Saneamiento Salou can provide the service that our municipality needs for the proper management and treatment of the water generated".
