4 mobile desalination plants will be installed in Roses to guarantee and strengthen the water service
Roses will have 4 mobile desalination plants this summer that will cover 35% of the population's water consumption. The action will be funded in equal parts by the Catalan Water Agency and the Costa Brava Girona Water Consortium, and is the result of meetings and studies carried out in recent weeks, together with Roses City Council.
In total, it is planned to install 12 small-sized mobile desalination plants in the northern area of Costa Brava Nord, which will contribute 1,000 m3 per day, 4 of which will be installed in Roses. The Councilor for Infrastructure and Public Services of Roses, Lluís Espada, points out that "the destination of the water produced in the desalination plants installed in Roses will be the municipality itself, through a connection with the distribution network. With this action, we want to guarantee and strengthen the water service during the summer season to all citizens and to the services of the municipality and have the necessary infrastructure to avoid the application of new restrictions .
The Consorci d'Aigües Costa Brava Girona (CACBG), the body in charge of managing the water service in a large part of the Costa Brava, will acquire 12 mobile desalination plants that will increase the water available in its distribution network. The Catalan Water Agency (ACA) has awarded a subsidy of 5 million euros to the CACBC to help cover the investment.
The desalination plants will be installed in the following locations: four in the municipality of Roses, four inside the ETAP Empuriabrava facilities, managed by the Costa Brava Girona Water Consortium, and four more on the beach He was energizing They will have an approximate cost of 10 million euros and it is expected that each of them will produce 1,000 m 3 a day. This production will cover approximately 35% of the water demand of the supply area of the North Costa Brava of the CACBG.
