The Burriana City Council and Facsa promote water efficiency with a new water reuse system

The Burriana City Council, in collaboration with FacsaThe municipality has announced the commissioning of a new loading point for street cleaning tanks at the Burriana 6 Well facility, located on Camí Carnissers. This point will allow for the efficient use of the backwash water from the facility's activated carbon filters, reinforcing the municipality's commitment to sustainability and the responsible management of water resources.

At the Burriana 6 Well, there is a tank with an approximate capacity of 70 m³, designed to store the water from backwashing the activated carbon filters. Until now, this water was removed and transported to the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). With the commissioning of this new filling point, this water will be reused for cleaning and washing the streets and squares of Burriana.

Commitment to water efficiency

This measure represents an important step forward in the strategy of the Burriana City Council and Facsa to improve water efficiency in a context of increasing water scarcity.

With this new system, and in its first phase, 100 m³ of wash water can be reused monthly, thus optimizing the consumption of such a valuable resource. This amount is equivalent to the average water consumption of one person for almost two years – 142 liters per person per day.

A step towards a more sustainable future

As stated by Mario Trullen, Councilor for Public Works in the Burriana City Council, “the reuse of this water represents another step in the council's policy of saving and efficiency, which continues to prioritize innovative solutions to address environmental challenges. The new tanker loading point not only reduces the amount of water diverted to the treatment plant, but also allows for more rational management of available water resources, benefiting all residents of our town.” Trullen added that “with this initiative, the town positions itself as a leader in the sustainable use of water, contributing to environmental protection and the well-being of its residents.”
