Promoted and funded by the Catalan Water Agency (ACA), the project will be delivered by the infrastructure, water and energy group in partnership with Rom\u00e0 Infraestructures. The \u20ac4.4 million contract (excluding taxes) runs for 12 months of construction, followed by three months of testing and a further 12 months of operation.<\/p>\n<p>The new plant is designed to handle 410 m\u00b3 of wastewater a day using a biological process that reduces nitrogen, treating water for 2,400 residents. The cleaned water will flow back into the Gai\u00e0 River, helping to improve its environmental health. Sludge will be managed through a rhizocomposting system that combines drying and stabilisation, using planted reeds to do the job naturally.<\/p>\n<p>The project includes laying a collector over 500 metres long to bring wastewater from the town\u2019s sewers. A new pumping station (EBAR) will also be built to push the water to the treatment plant through a delivery pipe sized to manage three times the normal flow, allowing it to handle some rainwater as well.<\/p>\n<p>Work officially began with a groundbreaking ceremony led by Silvia Paneque y Sureda, Catalonia\u2019s councillor for Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition, and attended by ACA director Josep Llu\u00eds Armenter, among other officials. They were joined by Antoni Sol\u00e9, Lantania\u2019s regional delegate for the north and east, and Victor Arcos, the company\u2019s group head.<\/p>\n<p>The new plant will bring Vila-rodona\u2019s wastewater treatment up to current environmental standards and help protect the Gai\u00e0 River ecosystem. It\u2019s part of the ACA\u2019s wider push to modernise sanitation across Catalonia and keep the water cycle running efficiently and sustainably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Promoted and financed by the Catalan Water Agency (ACA), the project involves an investment of \u20ac4.4 million Madrid, 30 October 2025.
