In 2008, Aqualia ceased to provide servi-
ces to this town in Huelva after the public
company Giahsa was awarded the con-
tract. The town’s authorities have decided
to award the new contract, returning to the
previous indirect management model. Se-
ven months ago, Aqualia has been handling
the end-to-end water service for this town
under an emergency contract and was fi-
nally chosen by the local authorities which
awarded the company a 25-year contract.
