The El Port de la Selva Town Council has awarded Veolia the management of the drinking water supply service for the next 19 years, with an investment of over €6.1 million aimed at renovating and improving the municipality's hydraulic infrastructure.

The new phase of collaboration began with a meeting on Monday, November 9, between representatives from Veolia and the Town Council. Veolia was represented by Albert Ruart, Director of Veolia in Girona-Costa Brava; Irene Berta, Head of Clients; and Frank Escobar, Head of Distribution. The Town Council was represented by the mayor, Lídia Ferrer; the first deputy mayor, Núria Massot; and the second deputy mayor, Roger Pinart.
Key planned actions include the replacement of 9 kilometers of aging pipes, the construction of a new reservoir in the La Mora neighborhood, improvements to existing main pipelines and reservoirs, and the renewal of 2,619 meters, which will incorporate remote reading systems. New control systems, leak detection, and water quality monitoring will also be installed, along with improvements in energy efficiency and the incorporation of photovoltaic energy.
This strategic initiative aims to reduce water losses, minimize breakdowns, ensure a more reliable supply, and move towards more efficient and sustainable water resource management. According to the Town Council, this investment is for the municipality's future and responsible management of an essential resource.
