The Flix City Council started construction this week in January 2026 to install a new carbon filter plant at Punta del Canó, with a budget of 398,000 euros, aiming to ensure a safer and higher quality drinking water supply for the municipality.

Works for the installation of the new carbon filter plant for the drinking water network have begun in Flix with the purpose of significantly improving the quality of the water supplied to the municipality. This new infrastructure will be strategically located at the entrance of the main network reservoir, situated at Punta del Canó, reinforcing the existing drinking water treatment system.
The project not only includes the installation of the carbon filter plant but also the construction of an auxiliary reservoir with a capacity of 500 cubic meters. This addition is crucial for optimizing the management and regulation of the water supply for the entire population.

The commissioning of the new plant will represent a very important qualitative leap in the quality of the municipal network water, definitively addressing the shortcomings of the current catchment and purification system.

The project has a total budget of 398,000 euros and the execution period is expected to be only three months. The company responsible for the execution is Aigües de Catalunya. Funding primarily comes from the Agència Catalana de l’Aigua (ACA), which contributes 63% of the total cost, and is supported by the Pla Impuls Dipta of the Diputació de Tarragona, within the framework of investments in basic infrastructure.
