:: IGNACIO LILLO MALAGA. The Acosol water company has written to the re- gional government’s Environ- mental Department for permis- sion to use recycled water to hose down the streets because of the impending drought. It stresses that the recycled wastewater pro- duced by the treatment plants at Arroyo de la Miel, Fuengirola, La Cala de Mijas, La Víbora, Este- pona and Manilva meets safety standards and it would be a sen- sible move to save supplies. Margarita del Cid, the head of the Mancomunidad de Mu- nicipios, of which Acosol is part, says it would also be a way of us- ing recycled water which is oth- erwise wasted.
