ACTIVITIES SERVICES INTEGRATED WATER SERVICES FOR DISTRICTS For more than 20 years we have been guaranteeing outstanding management of an integrated water cycle in districts. This has always been through the supply of top quality drinking water and the utmost respect for nature. The stages involved in the water cycle begin with the CATCHMENT of natural water, followed by its treatment for drinkable water at a DWTP, the maintenance and control of the water RESER- VOIRS, and management of district networks. In addition, continuous water analysis is carried out to check its status and thus guarantee the highest quality, from the tap to the end user. Another service is the water supply network’s systematic assessment and sewerage. This means that, in districts where Espina & Delfín manages water, there are high rates of return and a mini- mal loss of water through the usage of the latest technologies available on the market for leaka- ge detection and repair. The wastewater treatment cycle ends on arrival at a WWTP. After treatment, water is returned to the natural environment or reused in irrigation with a minimal environmental impact, thus continuing to contribute to a sustainable development of integrated management. Picture 1. The water cycle We currently manage 46 municipal water services in northwest Spain, wich is the equivalent of reaching a total of 150.000 cus- tomers (more than 550.000 inhabitants supplied and in excess of 800.000 in holiday seasons).
