To solve the current challenges in water management, such as scarce resources, climate change and the need to preserve ecosystems, it is necessary to implement new solutions that have a global vision of the integral water cycle. In this context, water reuse is one of the key components in achieving new, more efficient, reliable and sustainable water resources.
USES OF NON-POTABLE WATER
Water from the sewage plants, once treated, can become a new water resource for those uses that are not so demanding as those of drinking water, such as street cleaning, irrigation, industrial uses or parks and gardens.
Aigues Sabadell also uses efficiently groundwater resources. The integrated use of both waters, known as non-potable water, preserves drinking water reserves and also is an independent resource from conventional.
NON-POTABLE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
NON-POTABLE WATER FUTURE
Continue developing the non-potable water network in order to replace drinking water in all the suitable and allowed points (Royal Decree 1620/2007 & municipal regulations) such as garden and parks irrigation, street cleaning, discharge of toilets or industry
The Master Plan (2014-2024) has been designed and agreed with the services of Sustainability and Ecosystem Management, Public Works, Parks and Gardens and equipment of the City of Sabadell and Aigues de Sabadell. The map shows the current non-potable water network (lilac) and the actions taken into acount in the Master Plan.
Sabadell Water Company can provide non-potable water to any destination, not only in the city of Sabadell.
Golf courts, Public Parks, Street Cleaning machinery, Industries, or any other type of use can be analized and supplyed with non-potable water!

OPTION 2: NON POTABLE WATER PIPELINE

Please contact the Customer Service and specify the use to which you want to allocate water and the annual volume required.
If the supply point is close to the distribution non-potable water network is processed in accordance with the conditions and rules of the water supply in Sabadell.
If the supply point not located near the existing non-potable water distribution network, there will be a personalized study to determine whether it is possible to carry out the supply and under what conditions. Otherwise, we will assess their inclusion in future development plans.
For points located outside the municipality of Sabadell a feasibility study will be done based on forecasts of consumption and quality required.
We encourage you to ask for information about non-potable water network and to participate by telling us if there are more interesting areas, business, garden, etc to water near you.
It may be possible to arrive to this areas with the non-potable water network and help to reduce the potable water consumptions of Sabadell although there are some limits to arrive everywhere depending on the distance, pipelines or expected consumption.

Sant Pau de Riusec
One of the most important comercial and industrial zones of Sabadell is Sant Pau de Riusec. This area is supplied by two water networks: Potable Water and Non-Potable Water
Huge amounts of potable water is saved daily in this area because non-potable water is used to water green areas, flushing toilets, street cleaning and a non-potable water dispenser for filling trucks
We also encourage you to answer our survey!
