Aigües de Reus has completed the restoration of the old Minat de Mas Beltran to guarantee irrigation for 21 urban gardens on Astorga Street using non-potable water, framed within the RENATUReus strategy.

The completion of the works, which began last April, will allow the gardens in the Juroca neighborhood to use the city's own water, without having to allocate drinking water resources, thus optimizing water management.
This project is part of the city's re-naturalization strategy, known as RENATUReus, which seeks to promote green infrastructure, improve urban habitability, and encourage ecological agriculture and community meeting spaces.

"The Municipal Action Plan for these four years grants great importance to everyday water, the quotidian, and that is why it keeps in mind the prioritization of water as a first-order urban management element."

The action had a total cost of 101,648.32 euros (VAT included) and included the capture of water from the mine, its transfer, and the construction of a new building housing an underground tank for storage and pre-treatment. This diversification of supply sources aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2023-2027 Municipal Action Plan.
