The creation of the Quality Seal is worth
mentioning. It is the reflection of several
technical, information, and service com-
mitments of the Company to its clients. The
process makes it mandatory to improve
water management since the document
guarantees compliance with the obligations
acquired. It if does not live up to this com-
mitment, Aigües de Lleida offers each client
cash for the sum equivalent to 10,000 litres
of water based on the tariffs in force.
The Pinyana, Almacelles and Tèrmens Commonwealth
In the past few months, Aqualia has bolstered its presence in the province of
Lleida thanks to the extension of its contract in the capital city.
This extension is in addition to the contracts it has executed for the Pinyana
Commonwealth for water supply to a total of 19 municipalities. The contract
is worth more than 10 million euro. Aqualia will be providing water supplies
to the population in this region through its more than 87 kilometres of pipe
network. The other members of the Commonwealth are expected to be in-
corporated in the water supply service.
The mayor of Almacelles, Josep Ibarz, and the director of Aqualia’s East
Zone, Juan Luis Castillo, recently entered into an agreement for extending
the end-to-end water cycle management contract, in addition to the two
years remaining from the last extension of the agreement. The municipal
authorities, in a plenary meeting, also approved a 22% increase in the water
tariff which substantially enhances the terms and conditions of the agree-
ment.
The City Council of Tèrmens also approved a five-year extension of the con-
tract. These two extensions imply an increase of more than 2.2 million euro
in the company’s business portfolio.
