Rainwater storage tank in Gironella.

The Gironella Town Council will launch a new 30,000-litre tank for collecting rainwater, aiming to reuse this resource for irrigating green spaces and cleaning streets.

This initiative will enable the substitution of part of the potable water consumption with rainwater, contributing to more efficient and sustainable municipal management of water resources. The measure seeks to reduce reliance on the public network for tasks that do not require potable quality water.
In drought situations, the tank will provide an alternative resource, which is particularly important given the water usage limitations established by the specific municipal ordinance for these scenarios.
