Nules reaffirms its commitment to tap water consumption

As part of its commitment to environmental protection and sustainability, the Nules City Council and FacsaThe company that manages the town's water supply has launched a new network of reverse osmosis water dispensers to encourage residents to consume free tap water. A total of 29 dispensers have been installed at strategic locations throughout the town to provide Nules residents with free access to this high-quality, healthy, and environmentally friendly water, as it helps reduce the use of plastic bottles.

Specifically, one fountain has been installed in the municipal warehouse, two in the D. Jose Vicente Felip Molleó municipal library, three in Casa Ca la Vila, two in the Nules town hall, one in the Mascarell town hall, one in the youth center, one in the municipal cemetery, two in the Cervantes school, two in the Jaume I school, two in the Lope de Vega school, two in the Pedro Alcazar school, two in the Pío XII school and two in the La Consolación school.

A dispenser has also been installed in the training school, two in the Agricultural Chamber building (NATIU), two in the Mossén Miquel Romero Navarro building (SS. SS), one in the municipal swimming pool and one in the municipal sports center.

The new reverse osmosis water fountains offer an easy and convenient solution to guarantee access to drinking water, provide an unlimited supply, avoid plastics and improve the taste of the water thanks to their innovative filtration system to remove chlorine.

Specifically, these new dispensers are available in three formats to suit different needs. A tabletop model, designed for small spaces with up to 10-15 people; a floor-standing model, perfect for greater autonomy and with a capacity for 15-25 people; and finally, a premium floor-standing model, the highest capacity option designed for 25-30 users. Installation and technical support are also included.

This initiative stems from the firm commitment of the city council and the company to increase public confidence in the quality of tap water and promote its consumption as a sustainable alternative to bottled water, an action that also demonstrates their shared commitment to protecting the environment and improving the quality of life for residents. Thus, through these dispensers, the residents of Nules will have access to high-quality, reverse osmosis-treated water that meets all health and environmental standards.

An environmentally friendly alternative

“With the installation of these 29 dispensers, we are reinforcing our commitment to access to such an essential resource as tap water, which is not only healthy and of high quality, but also environmentally friendly,” stated Adrián Sorribes, the councilor in charge of the integrated water cycle. “Our intention is to promote a change in citizens' habits, encouraging the use of tap water as a more sustainable alternative to bottled water, which will help us reduce the use of single-use plastics in our town.”

The councilor also highlighted that the installation of these reverse osmosis water fountains "makes it easier for the residents of Nules to access top-quality water free of charge in public spaces, schools, municipal centers, and sports facilities. This not only improves the quality of life for citizens but also reinforces our commitment to sustainability and environmental protection."

In this regard, the Nules City Council and Facsa are once again joining forces with the common goal of defending the benefits of tap water not only for its accessibility and safety, but also as a key tool to reduce the environmental impact caused by the consumption of bottled water.

Furthermore, this initiative complements those already promoted by Facsa with the aim of encouraging society to consume tap water. These include the installation of reverse osmosis water fountains on the campus of the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló de la Plana and the installation of its unique Watertruck, a small mobile truck with which the company demonstrates the benefits of choosing tap water.
